Making corn husk dolls are a perfect fall activity for all ages!
Materials You Will Need:
Cut dried corn husks
Yarn
Wool felt for making the outfits (you can choose any color you'd like)
Scissors
Glue
Paper Towels
Twine
Step 1:
Soak the corn husk in water for around 8-10 minutes, then use the paper towels to dry and blot.
Step 2:
Lay an even number of corn husks down in a stack (4-6 husks is perfect)
Step 3:
Use the twine to tie your corn husks together
Step 4:
Separate husks into equal portions (2 & 2 or 3 & 3), and fold halves down, covering twine
Step 5:
Roll one husk and tie at the ends to make the arms
Step 6:
Position the arms below the knot at the neck, in between equal portions of husks
Step 7:
Tie at the waist of the doll.
Step 8:
For the hair, glue the yarn to the heads of the dolls. Fashion clothes from pieces of felt: Cut rectangles, and snip slits in the center; then slide over the doll's head, and secure around the waist with a strip of felt or yarn. (Glue on buttons, and use scissors to make fringe as desired.)
Happy Fall!
