I grew cornstalks out of paper! And it only took a minute. My farmer husband is so jealous. Read on to see just how easy it is to use teeny tiny elements in crafting. All you need are the right tools for the job, just like all a farmer needs is the right tractor.
Three Tools for Easy Teeny Tiny Elements
Step by Step Assembly
Diecut corn cobs and husks from Daffodil Delight cardstock. Diecut stalks from Granny Apple Green cardstock. Cornstalk dies are from the Hey Chick bundle available until May 3, and includes a 10% discount. Chick and Happy Birthday die is from the Hey Birthday Chick bundle.
Squeeze a small dab of glue onto the Silicone Mat.
Pick up the husk with the Take Your Pick Tool and dab the back of the husk into the glue.
Place husk on top of cob. Repeat until all cobs are assembled. Then add the corn cobs to the stalk in the same way, by picking up the assembled cobs and dipping the back into the glue and place on the stalk. And once dry, stick your cornstalks on your project using the same method to get the adhesive on the back.
Because everything is done on the Silicone Craft Sheet, the cornstalks will not stick to your work surface. Then, just rub the dried glue off of the silicone mat with your fingertips and it’s ready to go for the next project.
While I used this method for assembling cornstalks, you can use it for any teeny tiny element, like flowers and leaves, sequins and pearls, and the list goes on.
