A couple days ago I posted on how we can use corn dolls within our Lammas/Imbolc celebrations. At that time I had harvested some corn and was going to make our own corn doll and ones for the Cynnamon Charmed shop. I'd like to share some of our dolls with you. Also note the degrees of drying the dolls are in. As they dry, their skirts go from straight and stiff to stringy and curly. All our dolls are made using mostly corn husks and silks. You will find some cotton string, hemp string, and some hot glue especially for their hair. No two dolls are alike. They are all between 4-6" tall. Look for them soon in the Cynnamon Charmed shop!

This is perfect for Halloween! I’ve been dying to learn how to make such dolls for a long time. I’m glad that I was able to read your article! I’m trying to do it on my own but the finish product is not that pretty as yours. And the skirt really needs to be dried for it to look like that. My kids also help me in making this doll. They said that they also want to share it with their friends.
