Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the best way to prepare wicker for basket weaving?

Soak the wicker in lukewarm water before working with it so it becomes flexible and doesn’t break. Soaking time depends on the thickness of the rods. A few hours is usually enough. Then wrap it in a wet towel to keep it pliable throughout the crafting process. The quality natural wicker in our ARTMiE® range is ready for this purpose.

Can you dye corn husks, and which paints are suitable?

Yes, corn husks take pigments very well. We recommend using all-purpose fabric paints or KREUL acrylic paints, which form a durable surface once dry. Apply the paint with a brush or by dipping the husks in a solution. Before dyeing, make sure the corn husks are clean and dry for an even, rich color.

What supplies do you need to work with corn husks?

Along with the corn husks, you’ll need sharp scissors for trimming, strong thread for tying, and quality glue, such as a DP Craft hot glue gun. Toothpicks or wire can also come in handy for reinforcing the structure when making figures. You’ll find all these basic supplies in the arranging and decorating section of our ARTMiE online store.

How should you store wicker to prevent mold?

Store wicker in a dry, dark, well-ventilated space. Avoid damp basements and direct sunlight, which can make the material brittle. If you’ve stored the wicker for a long time, check it occasionally. When stored properly, the material from our ARTMiE® range retains its natural color and strength, even over time.

Is corn husk suitable for beginners in crafting?

Absolutely. Working with corn husks is very intuitive and relaxing. Start with simple decorations, such as flowers or figures, using coiling and tying techniques. With accessories from DP Craft, you’ll pick up the basics very quickly. It’s a great material for developing fine motor skills and creativity, and it’s accessible to anyone who enjoys handicrafts.
