Calico Corn Centerpiece
I don't know about you, but this is the time of year where things start to get really busy. In a month I won't know which way is up. That's why I love this centerpiece, put it together now and it can stay on your table through Thanksgiving. It's easy, it's inexpensive, and, dare I say, quite rustically fabulous!MATERIALS
Cylindrical jar
Felt
Flint corn (also called Calico or Indian)
Rubber band
Jute rope
Glue
STEPS
Cut a piece of felt big enough to wrap around your jar or vase overlapping itself a little. Use a line of glue on the short end to glue the felt to itself and hold it in place.
Place a rubber band around the felted jar and start adding your corn one ear at a time.
Continue until the corn is completely around the jar. Wrap two pieces of rope around the corn to hold them in place, tie a couple of pretty knots and cut the rubber band.
Voila!
