How to Make a Corn Husk Wreath {SHOCKINGLY Easy DIY!}

Directions

1. Fill your widest, largest bowl with room temperature water. Pick about a dozen straight, flat dried corn husks (no wrinkles, bumps, folds, or tears) and submerge them until saturated. Let them soak for at least 10 minutes to soften. Throughout the process, keep adding fresh husks to the bottom of the bowl so they're ready when you need them.
2. Lay dish towels around the soaking bowl. Take one softened husk and tear it into strips about 2 1/4 inches wide. Fold each strip in half and trim to 4 inches long using scissors and a tape measure. Consistency in strip length is key for neat, even rows on your wreath.
3. Starting from the inside of a 12-inch straw wreath form, pin each folded husk strip with greening pins. One row will need 4 to 5 strips; use extra pins if needed. Space successive rows about 1 1/2 inches apart, overlapping significantly so no pins show. Keep the spacing consistent all around the wreath.
4. Before pinning all husks, decide how you'll hang your wreath. Create a closed loop with floral wire around the straw form. If adding a bow or other embellishment, plan its placement now.
5. Place your completed wreath flat on a table in a warm, undisturbed spot (or outside if it's warm) and let it dry for a full 24 hours. Drying flat prevents droop. Store in an airtight, hard-sided wreath box. If any husk droops or looks off, simply remove it, resoak, and repin.
