Raw Husk Corn Husk Wreath
I love the earthy greens mixed in with the natural husk tones. It was quite easy.2 bags dried corn husks
raw corn husks from 7 ears of corn
1 flat wood wreath form
twine
** Soak your husks in water to soften & then remove & pat excess water off of them
**Layer 2 raw husks with 2 natural husks alternating colors
**Lay on wreath form & tie on with twine in the middle of the husks.
**Fold tied husks to one side & repeat so that each bundle of husks are no more than 1/4 – 1/2 inch apart. This makes the wreath very full when dry.
**Once you have tied the husk bundles all the way around your form- tear into the wider pieces to fray them.
**Hang upside down in a warm place to dry. This allows the husks to all dry straight out instead of sagging to the bottom. I attached mine to a wire hanger with paper clips & hung it in the warm garage for a couple days.
Yep- it’s that simple. & I love the punch of texture on my door.
AND- I was happy to cross this off my bucket list for a second time this season.

I think this might be your most beautiful wreath yet…..and they have all been beautiful! Thankfully most of the corn crop in Colorado has been harvested already, but I think anything left is covered with water now. Probably won’t be a lot of Fall corn husk crafts or corn mazes for us this year. So I will enjoy seeing yours all the more. 🙂
Gina Kleinworth says
Thank you Danelle- I’m a little crazy with the husks at the moment. 🙂
I was wondering how you have been doing with the water. Been on my mind – so devastating. Please keep me posted on things there.

Love the subtle colors of this wreath, Gina. It would be perfect on a dark wood or dark-colored door.

Your wreath is beautiful, I love the fullness and the wonderful texture… When I was young we lived near a farm and used corn husks in so many projects, love seeing yours, it brings back memories!
I linked over from the Homemade by You Party where I am participating too with Spooky Spider Card and would love it if you’d stop by.
Hugs, Antonella 🙂
