Crisp evenings are nearly here, and fall is just around the corner.

The perfect project for all ages, bring the entire family together on a rainy day for an unforgettable DIY session everyone can enjoy. 

*Adult supervision is required when children are present around magnets. 

Pick up your supplies: 

 

  • Disc magnets (we recommend 10mm x 1mm Neodymium Magnets) 
  • Plastic craft beads (red, yellow, gray, orange, brown, etc.) 
  • Mini craft sticks
  • Brown construction paper
  • Scissors
  • Craft glue 
  • Hot glue (optional)
  • Pen or pencil

 

Follow these instructions to make your corn magnets: 

  1. Begin by placing seven craft sticks on a tabletop or flat surface vertically to form an arrow shape. 
  2. Place a small amount of glue on two additional craft sticks and place one at the top of the arrow to secure the sticks together, repeating this process to secure the bottom (this will be the back of your corn husk). 
  3. Trace your own freehand corn husk shape on your brown construction paper, or use this template.
  4. Cut out several corn husk shapes (two per corn stalk).
  5. Dab a small amount of glue on the edges of your corn husk and press them to the base of your craft sticks. 
  6. Select a colorful assortment of beads for each corn husk and lay them aside. 
  7. Place a small amount of craft or hot glue on each bead individually and secure your beads to the craft sticks, forming what looks like corn kernels. 
  8. Glue two disc magnets to the back of your corn husk and let dry completely. 
  9. Your corn husks are now ready to grace your fridge or any other magnetic surface in your home!
