Didn't know that. They must take a longer time to dry, leaving the stem on. Oh well, better luck next year. Is there a use for skinny rolled up corn husk leaves, other than the compost pile? Oops!

I'm drying them now in my Excalibur dehydrator. Both ways, I leave the hard end on while it's drying. I think that helps retain the shape. brookdale, when I made that wreath, I was drying the husks outside. I’m drying them now in my Excalibur dehydrator.

Mine always curl up into thin strips as they dry. I do cut the hard end off as I husk the corn, is that the reason? I want to make a wreath like yours but my husks are too narrow to look good.

I'd say 50, but they weren't full husks. I had a bag of husks from the farmers market and some were split. It does take a lot to make it full! Tina, I didn’t count them.

Love the wreath! Never would have thought of using a coat hanger, of all things, for the base of a wreath. Also, Im in the process of making the corn husk angels from your site as well. I have been drying my corn husks since end of June and am ready to get started. Thank You! I just found your website while looking for some great fall decor ideas. Love the wreath!
