Flavor Table - Thanksgiving

Corn Husk Wreath

Supplies

• Straw wreath
• Bowl of water
• Paper towels
• Corn husks
• T-pins
• Hot glue gun
• Scissors

Quick tips

1. Soften corn husks in water; dry slightly on paper towels.
2. Wrap corn husks around wreath, overlapping edges to form a first layer that covers straw entirely. Use T-pins to secure undersides of husks as you go.
3. Create “sunflower” look: Pin water-softened husks to wreath so they dry into draped, curled or undulating shapes.
4. Repeat, going around the wreath to create several layers.

5. Use glue gun to permanently attach radiating husks a few at a time. Attach in layers, tucking additional husks behind until you reach desired fullness. Use scissors to trim husk to desired lengths and widths as you go.
