Create a Wreath From a Corn Hust
By admin | October 28, 2007
As an avid gardener it is hard to be couped up inside all winter, lucky there are plenty of crafts to do. One of my favorite is to decorate my house with items symbolic of Halloween and thanksgiving. Here is one of the best that I have found.
Make a pretty wreath out of corn husks. Start with a foam wreath base. Cut strips of corn husks three inches wide and eight inches long. Fold them in half crosswise, and wire the ends together. Fasten them to the foam base with thumbtacks, overlapping the folded part of one husk and the wire of the next and hiding the wires and tacks. If the base is narrow, one row of husks will do. Use two or more rows for wider bases. Add a colorful bow and trimmings of nuts, pine cones, or bittersweet to complete the wreath.
