When I was a kid my sisters and I used to play with corn husk dolls all throughout the summer and fall. I cannot find any good instructions how to make them. We used to have some good ones and between the three of us we cannot figure out where they came from. I cannot imagine our parents bought them for us, but no one remembers how to make them either. If you have any suggestions on how to make them or where to look for good instructions, please let me know. Thanks

These dolls are just like the ones I remember, the ones we attempted to make last summer were not so great and a little frustrating. Cant wait for the harvest this summer. I am so glad I found eeryone here...a fount of very useful crafting knowledge.

Everyone should try these out we recently had corn and it was really great to make these little dolls. I have been waiting and these instructions are really great for kids of all ages. Jess
