Corn Husk Dolls
Dry some corn husks or buy some from a grocery store.
Soak the corn husks in warm water so that they are easy to work with.
Lay down paper or cloth on your work surface, as this will be a wet and messy project.
Pick four nice husks that you want to use. If you have one or two that have holes or brown spots put them on the outside.
Tie the husks together with some strong string. You could also user rubber bands if you want.
Flip two husks over so that the outside husks are now on the inside.
This step is where you make the head. Take a small piece of husk, wad it into a ball, and stuff it in between the husks. Tie some string under the ball.
Make arms by braiding three thin strands of husk together. Tie on both ends and slip it in between the husks.
Tie under the arms.
If you want to make a boy doll cut the "skirt" and tie off the two halves so they resemble legs.
- You can make hair from dried corn silk.
- You can make your doll all sorts of accessories out of extra husks. You can also make yarn hair or paint your doll. It's fun!
