Just a few simple ingredients yield one lovely fall wreath.

To make this wreath, you will need: assorted Indian corn / copper grounding wire- 4 feet / drill / pliers

Break each Indian corn in the middle with your hands.

With the drill, drill a hole large enough for your copper wire through the center of each cob.

With the pliers, bend one end of the wire into a loop. This will keep the corn on the wire.

Slide the corn down the wire until it meets the loop.

Add corn until you reach the end of the wire. Try mixing up and varying the corn, husks and all, as you place them onto the wire.

After you have filled the wire with the corn, add a hook at the end with the pliers like so.

To complete the wreath, place the hook into the loop at the opposite end. Bend the wreath into shape.

Place the wreath where wildlife can easily see and access it. To replace the corn, simple unhook the wire and repeat the previous steps.
