Cheap & Easy Autumn Corn Husk Wreath

Hey ya'll, it's Fall!  Or at least it feels like it around here, and we're loving it! The three boys and I took a trip up north to my husband's uncle's cabin this weekend to check his trail cams, put some corn out, and take a ride on the Ranger. I'm pretty sure with all of the excitement that we officially scared the deer away...

Speaking of corn, a couple weeks ago I stopped at our local farm stand and bought a dozen ears of sweet corn. When it's fresh, it's delicious, and we all love to eat it every night a lot with dinner! I also froze a ton, too. So easy on and off the cob.

I had a couple of little helpers to shuck the corn for me, and when we had all of the husks off I let them dry in the sun for a couple of days. I saw a simple wreath in the September issue of Midwest Living, and knew I had to recreate it!

 

I used a wreath I already had from my Summer mantel. Starting from the bottom and working my way toward the top, I hot glued the husks on to the wreath. I used all of the husks from a dozen for an almost 36" wide wreath! I'm thinking I might add a little something to it - maybe  a couple of fall flowers or a small banner, but I kind of like it how it is. Simple & natural, just like Autumn in the Midwest.

I absolutely love decorating for fall, so I hope to update with more decor around here soon!
