Materials:
- Dried Flint corn
- Straight vases of varying sizes
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Florals for arrangements
- Scissors
- Satin ribbon
- Optional: Pruning Sheers
Instructions:
- If needed, clean and dry your corn cobs. Sometimes they arrive with the husks still attached and strings around the corn, so they need tidying up. *If your corn cob does have husks attached, remove them but save them for later in the DIY.
- Arrange your corn cobs by size. Group them together by similar sizes.
- Dry fit your corn cobs to make sure they all fit around the vase.
- This corn is very tough and not easy to break, so use it at the size it already is. *If you need to cut off the top that perhaps has lost some of its kernels, take pruning shears to cut it down. *
- Take your hot glue gun and start gluing the corn around the vase. You can have all the corn facing one direction or alternate directions up and down.
- Once you have glued corn all the way around the vase, use the husks to cover any spots that you can see through.
- Add a silk or satin ribbon around the corn for decoration. Hot glue in place so that it doesn’t slide along the corn cob.
- Fill the vases with florals, put them around your house and enjoy!
