This time of year, there are so many fall decorations on front porches and in yards. Scarecrows, pumpkins, gourds, hay bales, Indian corn, and corn stalks! As our garden season ends, I wanted to make something with the stalks in the garden. I decided to make a Corn Husk Wreath with the remaining stalks!  In this tutorial, I will show you how to use corn husk to make your fall wreath!

What I love about making this wreath is that the materials were very inexpensive, especially if you grow your corn.  If you don’t grow your own, during the fall season, you can find corn husks everywhere! Retail stores have corn husks, but they are a bit pricey, so if you have any local farmers around, ask if they have any and would be willing to sell you some, or you might even get them for free!

Here is what you will need:
-Corn Husks ( I needed about 70 individual husks)
-30 Corn Tassels
-Sunflowers
-Round Ring for Wreath (I used a foam wreath from a craft store)
-String /Twine
-Scissors
-Glue Gun
-Dehydrator
-Water bottle

You first need to gather your husks and tassels to get started. The sun naturally dried our husks. However, if yours isn’t dry, you can put them in boxes and let them dry in the sun for several weeks until your color liking. You can bring them in at night to avoid dew settling on them. When drying, turn them often so the sun can dry both sides.

(straight from our garden, the corn cobs I’ll use for waxed dipped corn cob decor)

After bundling about five husks, I cut the ends to make it even when tying onto the ring.

Below I damped the husks lightly with a spray bottle to make it easier to bundle. Cut a long enough string/twine to wrap around the bundle and tie it onto the ring.
Overlap each bundle on top of one another, going in the same direction. Do this until you are all around the ring.

Next, gather your corn tassel tips and tuck them with the husk bundles. Do this all around.

I used hot glue to attach the remaining tassels around the ring to fill the gaps.

To add the sunflowers, I picked some fresh sunflowers and put them in the dehydrator. To attach the flowers to the wreath, remove any stems and glue the back of the head of the flower and place it where you want on your wreath.

This is what it will look like when finished!
