  1. Break an uncooked ear of corn into 2 1/2-inch lengths, coaxing the breaks with a kitchen knife if necessary (adults only). Firmly attach plastic corn cob holders to the ends.

  2. Next, pour a few shades of fabric paint onto paper plates. Roll the corn in the paint and then across a cloth place mat (you may want to practice on newspaper or fabric scraps first). Repeat, overlapping patterns and hues.

  3. Heat-set the painted place mats according to the manufacturer's directions.
