Autumn is the right time to prepare materials for creativity and needlework for the future. Acorns, cones, vines, berries, leaves, beautiful branches and bark ... All this is useful for crafts with children and Christmas decorations.
Today I want to remind you of another great natural material: corn leaves. For weaving, only internal, thin and delicate leaves are needed, but all are useful for decoration. If only they were without damage and stains.
Corn leaves can be simply dried. But in this case, black mold may appear on them during storage. Therefore, I recommend that you boil corn leaves (talash) before drying in salted water. You can simply boil the cobs without removing the leaves. I like to cook the leaves separately. So, by the way, it is more convenient to dry corn silk separately. They are used for medicinal purposes, but the decorative material from them is also very interesting.
1. Carefully remove the leaves from the cobs.
2. Cut off the thickenings near the stem.
3. Bring salted water to a boil.
4. Cook the leaves for 10 minutes.
5. We spread the leaves so that excess water leaves them.
6. Dry the leaves at room temperature on newspapers. We make sure that the newspapers are not wet.
Everything!
Valuable material for creativity is ready. In this form, it can be stored for years.

Hey! My name is Oksana, I live in Siberia. I love my garden very much, all the plants in it and all its inhabitants. I learned how to make fairy houses from @Creative Mom's video.
I enjoy experimenting, surprising people and sharing my ideas. I try to leave less trash after myself, so I willingly use in my work what normal people would throw away: cardboard, newspapers, plastic bottles, glass and metal cans, unnecessary clothes, scraps of fabric, remnants of building and finishing materials. From all this, you can do a lot of necessary, useful and beautiful things with your own hands.
I will show you how I make fairy houses, other decor for the garden and home with my own hands. We still have many different projects ahead, if you plan to make crafts for the garden and at home with your own hands - subscribe, we will create together!
