Ira first decided to paint the whole broom golden. The color was shiny and bright. It would look good as a base. The she could paint the designs on it with red. That would really highlight the red color.

She first took a large brush and dipped it in the golden color. She painted the whole broom evenly and let it dry. It was looking so beautiful.

While waiting for the paint to dry, she thought of ways to decorate. Ribbons and streamers would look good. She went over to the supplies box and looked. Sure enough, there were ribbons and streamers too! Professor Vindictus had surely kept all options open. Ira took red ribbons and streamers and thought about it. She then also took what looked like tufts of hair of golden and red colors. She decided to attach then to the end of the broom handle. It would give a nice soft touch to it.
