Cotton Ball Corn Cob
Sweet corn is a lasting symbol of the Thanksgiving holiday. Make your own corn on the cob to celebrate the harvest season!
What you'll need:
- 8”x 10” piece of green craft foam
- 4-5 cotton balls
- Yellow acrylic craft paint
- Scissors
- White craft glue
- Paintbrush
How to make it:
- Cut a corn cob shape out of the green craft foam.
- Line center of the craft foam with white craft glue.
- Pull small pieces off of the cotton balls and roll into balls with your fingers.
- Place the rolled balls onto the craft glue. Continue this step until entire center of green foam is filled with “corn kernels.”
- Dip paintbrush into yellow paint. Paintbrush should be full, but not dripping.
- Using a dabbing motion, add paint to the cotton until mostly covered (see image). Allow to dry for about two hours.
- After paint has had a chance to dry, add more yellow paint where needed.
- Let dry completely.
Tips:
- To make this project into Indian corn, use tan craft foam instead of green and add touches of burgundy, orange and brown paint through the corn kernels.
- Make several of these and use as place markers for your Thanksgiving table. Simply write family members’ names across the green foam with a black marker.
- This makes a fun classroom wall project. Have each child create a corn cob and build a cork wall with rows of corn.
