corn wreath


supplies
white and green construction paper
yellow, orange, red and brown paper
bubble wrap
twine

we painted our construction paper using pieces of bubble wrap. it gives the look of the individual kernels on a corn cob.


after it was dry, we cut them out and added some green to make the corn husks.

using a piece of cardboard, we made our wreath form and glued on the the corn. i added a piece of twine to hang the wreath from.

  15. I wish you had templates. I've looked all over online for a template I like as much as yours and nothing. I am not artist and couldn't come up with it on my own. Excited to try this tonight with some kids I am babysitting!

  16. I never knew bubble wraps can be used that way! That is an amazing wreath. Bubble wraps are usually deemed for popping as a form of stress reliever for others, but I never knew you can pop it for a past time as well! Great post.

  19. Thank you for posting this. I'm not that craft and would mess this up lol. Would be nice to have some nice Thanksgiving mottos for the corn wreath as well. If it's okay I can share some here: Thanksgiving Slogans

  21. Hi,
    It is really a great post by you. I found this so interesting. Keep it up and keep sharing such posts.
    Students who study abroad sometimes fail to submit their assignments or assessment before the deadline. There are many reasons behind this are tight schedule, lack of interest in any particular subject, fails to manage their job and study simultaneously, etc. Therefore they look for someone to do their assignment. So, if you are also one struggling with crafting your assignment then you take assignment help Melbourne. Many different subjects where students mostly seek online assignment help are CHC30113 Assessment Answers Help, Management Assignment Help, bsbdiv501 assessment answers, etc.
