Picture of completed project follows directions

Directions:
Step 1
Cut a 2 ½ inch piece of chenille.
Glue a 6 mm faceted bead to the end of the chenille stem
String 11 Tri-beads on the chenille stem in a random color pattern.
Make sure the beads nest together and trim the chenille to ¼ inch.

Step 2
Cut a 4 x 1 piece of paper ribbon.
Trim the ends – rounded bottom, slightly pointed top.

Step 3
Glue the beaded chenille stem to the paper ribbon by placing glue on the ¼ inch length of stem and pressing the paper ribbon around it.

Step 4
Repeat steps 1 through 3 for as many individual ears of corn as you wish to make. I used 3 to make a pin.

Step 5
Glue the three corn ears together at the neck. Cut three 14-inch lengths of raffia and tie a bow around them.
If you prefer you can do one ear or two ears of corn for a pin – I used three)

Step 6
Glue a pin back on the back of the corn.

That’s it you are done.
