Corn Husk Sun Flower Refrigerator Magnet


     This week's project is sort of like last weeks project only not. We still have some corn husks left over and this refrigerator magnetic looks great. If your children want to help make these be sure to help them with the cutting and hot melt gluing.

Here's what you'll need:

A package of corn husks wrappers
Indian Corn
An iron
Scissors
Cardboard
Black Felt
Hot melt glue gun
Magnetic strips

Cut out a 2" cardboard circle.
Cover one side with black felt using hot melt glue.
Glue on an outside row of dark Indian corn all the way around.
Start the next row with lighter corn and place it slightly on top of the first row. This will make the row stand up a little.
Repeat this for each row. Each row will stand up straighter until the middle row of corn is standing on end.
Get the corn husks wet and then iron with a medium hot iron, no steam.
Cut the flower petals from the husks. Make the inside row a little smaller, the middle row bigger and the outside row the biggest.
Start gluing the small petals on first around the back of the cardboard. Have the petals so they curve forward.
Glue the second row and then the third.
Cut a 3" circle of cardboard and glue it in the center of the back.
Glue on the magnetic strips and it's ready for the refrigerator.

These are fun to make and your kitchen will take on a nice fall appearance. They also would look nice in your locker at school.

We hope you liked this project. If you build it and your friends ask where you got such a clever idea, please tell them that you got it at RunnerDuck.com.
