In some cases, for example, when a broom is made of bast or yarn, it is recommended to coat the material with PVA glue, allow it to dry almost, then form a fan and put it under the press for a day. This is done to fix the form. But the broom took the form of a fan, and it can be cut, making the bottom edge straight or semicircular, as desired.
