The weather is definitely changing here in Colorado! We've had a few hot days the past week but, looking forward in the forecast, we will be more seasonal going forward. The nights have really begun to chill off too. All meaning that, in just a few weeks, it will officially be Fall. To welcome one of my favorite seasons, I made a Corn Husk Fall Wreath to put on the door to greet it.
Corn husks just seemed to say "Fall" to me so I picked up a bag of them in the ethnic aisle at my grocery store.
Once home, I gathered up my supplies and started creating.
I used a leftover cardboard plate protector as the base, but you could easily cut out a round in any available cardboard. I had painted some of the husks orange, but once I went to place them on the wreath, I didn't like the look and wound up not using them. No worries! There are plenty of husks in the package!
Once I had hot glued several layers of husks I added a big metal sunflower I had purchased at Michael's on sale and with a coupon!
A 15 minute project just pops against our black front door!

Cute! I learn the best stuff from you!
ReplyDeleteNice, Kathe!
ReplyDeleteNow thats sweet! Love the way it pops against your black door too....
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I would never have thought of buying corn husks in the ethnic isle of the grocery store - very clever of you. Now I know how I can restyle the big metal sunflower from last year to use again this year.
ReplyDeleteWooo interesting
ReplyDeleteReally cute Kathe ... I bought corn husks last year for something (don't remember what), but never used them. Maybe I will use them this year if I can find them. I like your wreath very much.

Kathe, this is so cute!!! Love it! I need to find something for my front door that can take the rain since I don't have much of an overhang there! Oh and I love it that I can now envision where you are when crafting! Miss you!!

What a cute idea! And relatively easy to make! (I'm no good with paint and glue and scissors. My husband has all but banned me from messing around with all of that!) You did a really great job, and the wreath really stands out on your door!
ReplyDeleteI thought I heard that parts of Colorado got SNOW over the weekend??!???! Already?!????
Nice! I wish I had the gumption to do things like that.
ReplyDeleteFun!! And, super adorable. Love the sunflower...
ReplyDeleteI love it--especially the metal sunflower. Great way to dress up a black door.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful. I love it and it is perfect for fall. Pinning.
ReplyDeletePerfect to welcome fall!!!
ReplyDeleteLove it!

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Kathe,
ReplyDeleteThis looks great. So happy to being stopping by and sharing your project. Have a great week.
Love this, corn husks are so perfect for fall decor. I've never used them but I can see lots of possibilities. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute fun idea! Thanks for sharing, I love fall wreaths!
ReplyDeleteI was just noticing that the corn husk wreath that I made a few years ago is in need of replacement. This one is really cute!
ReplyDeleteKathe, I love your wreath - so fall with your sunflower and how it pops against your black door. Now I know where to get those cornhusks so I can play with some also. Cathy
ReplyDeletei did not know you can buy a bag of corn husks! you are right, they definitely say fall to me, too. enjoy!

Well, it's definitely not Fall-like here in the desert, but it is inside my house. I really like the cornhusk wreath. I made one many years ago, but it was one of those that you had to soak the husks to soften them & then fold them in half and pin to your base. It was really pretty when I finished, but it took a long time. On the plus-side, it lasted for several years. I like the idea of using cardboard to make the base. The styrofoam, grapevine & straw ones can get expensive if you don't happen to find them on sale or have a coupon. Yep, I think Fall will definitely be knocking on your door before it swings by here!
ReplyDeleteI love this! what a great fall decor item!
ReplyDeleteCute idea Kathe! It definitely feels Fall like here. I was out under the pergola visiting links when I had to pick up my laptop and come in. Got down right chilly. Sure does look gorgeous out there this time of year. During the day the temps are fabulous! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
