How long do the dolls last?

With proper care, your corn-husk dolls can last several seasons. Just keep them dry and store them in a cool, dark place when they're not on display.

Can I use other materials?

Absolutely! Feel free to incorporate other craft supplies you may have at home, such as ribbons or glitter, to customize your dolls further.

What is the best way to hang them?

You can create a small loop with twine at the top of the doll’s head for easy hanging. This is particularly lovely if you want to display them on a wall or in a window.
