::Corn Necklaces::

















1. Obtain a few ears of brightly-colored dried Native American corn. ( Supermarkets, or road-side stands )

2. Break the ears in half, and using both hands, twist the kernels off the cob into a bowl.

3. Cover the kernels with boiling water, and allow them to soak for at least one hour.

4. Using a sturdy needle and thread, or dental floss, string the kernels one at a time into a necklace, being sure to make it long enough to fit over your head. You can use “beads” of all one color, or vary them in a pattern if you like.

5. Knot the two ends together, and let dry throughly before wearing.
