Enchancing Nature

Natural Colors

Pumpkins on Display

Fall Chandelier

Corn Garland

41 Harvest-Inspired Fall Decor Ideas (40)

This garland of Indian corn can be used indoors or out. Cut rope 2 feet longer than the area in which you intend to hang the garland. Then twist screw-eye hooks (with openings about the same size as the rope diameter) into the tops of mini ears of corn, one per ear. Bend corn husks into loops and hot-glue the pointed ends together. Thread the husks and ears onto the rope and hang.
