For years I've seen wreaths made out of corn husks and
I've always wanted to try my hand at making one.
I've always wanted to try my hand at making one.
Here's how I did it (along with my good friend, Kate).
Supplies we used:
- 1 package of Corn Husks (we found ours at Wal-Mart, in the produce section)
- wreath form
- scissors
- stapler
We soaked a couple packages of the corn husks in water for about an hour.
Once they are soft you'll want to separate them.
And then we laid them out to dry a bit.
You don't want them TOO dry, or they'll break because they are so brittle.
Cut the ends off...
So you have pieces that look like this:
Tear down the middle, like this:
And then fold them in half, like this:
Get out your wreath form (no need to remove the plastic).
Start stapling them on, about 4 in a row.
The rows should be overlapping.
Until your wreath starts to look nice and full like this:
Add a nice bow with some thick wire lined ribbon.
The perfect addition to your fall decor!
This is lovely. I love the neutral color, and the natural feel. Nice work. Thank you for this tutorial!
ReplyDeleteSo cool. The texture is so neat I want to reach out and touch it. Well done!
ReplyDeleteVery original. I tried it, only that I have so many leaves of maize. If I put that solve in pinterest. Greetings from me and the Czech Republic.
