Corn Husk Crafting – Make A Green Christmas Tree

Posted by Karen Bastille - 27/09/09 at 10:09 pm

A small Christmas tree on a Styrofoam cone base is a quick and easy project to make with dyed husks.

Dye a bowlful of husks with commercial green dye. Rinse them well.

For the tree shown above, you will need florist’s wire, the dyed husks, the Styrofoam cone, and a few small pine cones or red berries.
Tear the husks into 1-inch-wide strips. Fold a strip over into a loop (Illus. 25). Tie three of these
loops together by winding a short piece of wire around the base of the loops. Leave one half inch
of wire sticking out. Push the wire into the plastic cone, starting at the bottom (Illus. 26) and filling
the cone with green loops. Put them close together—the husks will dry and shrink. Push wire through the small pine cones and push them between the loops.
