BEAUTIFUL INDIAN CORN WREATH
I’ve wanted to make this wreath for years. And finally… I did! This is an absolutely GORGEOUS, stunning, beauty! So full of autumnal color and texture and so so easy to make! My INDIAN CORN WREATH took about 30 minutes from start to finish. If you make one thing this fall, this should be it!

This wreath will look fabulous on your front door and will be seen from your walk, from the road, and even going by it in a car!!!
It’s not shy or demure but offers a huge dose of fall beauty and a hearty fall welcome!
SOME THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW
Let’s get started and make a wreath that will last until Thanksgiving… and for years to come!
I made a quick trip to my local Amish greenhouse to pick up about 40 multi-colored Indian corn!
The entire cost for this Indian Corn Wreath was about $40.00. Not bad at all for all the WOW factor!
I used a 14-inch straw wreath to make the Indian Corn Wreath and it really fills up almost my entire standard size door!
If you want a smaller wreath then use a smaller straw wreath.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE AN INDIAN CORN WREATH
You will only need a few things to make this magnificent wreath…
- a straw wreath for the base (see the what I used HERE)
- mini Indian corn
- hot glue
That’s it!
READY TO MAKE AN INDIAN CORN WREATH
Let’s get started!
Here’s a few tips that might help you…
- choose different colored mini corn
- glue the corn next to each other
- line up the tips of the corn to make the wreath look even
- because not all corn is the same length, vary them putting different size corn next each other.
- if the corn husks break off from the corn, hot glue them back on
- keep the plastic wrapping on the straw wreath so it’s not messy
I’m so thrilled with how this wreath turned out! It really is magnificent!
HOW TO KEEP AN INDIAN CORN WREATH
To keep the wreath from year to year it must be stored in a “mouse-free” zone or double bagged in a thick industrial garbage bag and tied together tightly! If you hang the wreath outside, make sure it it totally dry before putting it in any plastic bag.
I’ll be keeping mine for a few years, so I’ll make sure to make it “mouse proof”!

What beautiful colors God created for us to enjoy in nature’s bounty! The Indian corn provides a spectacular “show” of the vibrant fall color palette, and the texture enhances the beauty. If I was a mouse, I would love this wreath, too!!!

one other warning is birds might eat the corn too. last year i saw a post that she made a corn wreath the post a few days later and said the birds eat it.

Yvonne,
I have read all of your posts, and you have skills when it comes to making wreaths , just wanted to let you know. I just painted my front door black this spring and your fall Indian corn wreath would be perfect. please enter me into the drawing.
Thanks, Denise
What an easy and beautiful fall wreath idea! It looks fabulous against your dark door, too. Thanks for sharing your easy tutorial with us at Merry Monday this week!
What a lovely fall decoration and so easy1 It celebrates Thanksgiving more..love it! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful! I love making different wreaths for our front door; our neighbors always compliment me on them! This will be my next wreath project; it will be gorgeous on our black door. One question…they are mini Indian corns; approximately how long are they?
The wreath is made with mini Indian corn and it has lasted about 6 years so far. Just be careful though if you have a basement or a garage the mice might think it is a snack.
So these are the 4 inch mini ears?
The Indian Corn wreath is gorgeous! Great idea!!
I think this wreath will be lovely over my mantle and bring autumn colors in nicely. Hope it’s as easy to make as you make it look! Very creative.
Absolute LOVE the Indian Corn Wreath! I will be making them for my double front doors as soon as I can find the corn! The doors are a brown color and nothing ever stands out. I use white a lot to be seen from the road. I think these are going to be spectacular! Can’t wait for fall!
Hi Kim! I think so too! Send me a picture!
one of these babies will be hanging on my door next Thanksgiving.
Absolutely outstanding! I am definitely going to try it for my door next year!
Please let me know where I can purchase your pineapple door plaque. I love it and can’t seem to find one. Thank you.
Hi Angie, We have had that pineapple door plaque for a couple decades. I found it in Charleston SC.
What a fabulous wreath! It definitely is a show stopper! Thanks for sharing the how to and all the tips!
Glad you like it Vick!
