Every time I make tamales I stare at the leftover pile of corn husks and think … one day I’m going to make a festive craft with them. But, as we all know the holidayโ€™s fly by and my creative crafting ideas never happen. This year thankfully my PIC (partner in crafting), Kirsten came up with this beautiful corn husk wreath.

I have seen many corn husk wreaths and even spotted one recently at my favorite store Anthropologie. But this one has a few unique touches like the colorful ribbon and these stunning monogrammed wooden slices that have been burnished to say โ€œtamaladaโ€ to welcome my guests for my upcoming tamalada. Of course, you can spell whatever youโ€™d like, like your last name or โ€œwelcomeโ€. The possibilities are endless.

Stay tuned — I will be posting another blog post to share how to make the wood burned slices for gift tags, wine charms, orย ornaments.
