Procedure: Lay about 6 husks on top of each other. About an inch from one end, gather the husks together and fasten with a rubber band, or tie with string. Pull the long ends back over the tied area (1/2 to each side) and fasten again. This is the head.
To make the arms, roll 2 husks together lengthwise in a tight roll. Fasten near the ends. Slip this section inside the body husks, below the neck. Fasten the arms in place by wrapping some yarn, or string across the upper body in a crisscross pattern. To complete a girl doll, trim the bottom of the husks evenly to create a skirt. You may glue corn silk or yarn on for hair. To complete a boy, separate the lower part into tow sections and wrap each leg section tightly at the ankle with a rubber band or string.

Natural Dyes
Long before commercial dyes were available people were dyeing fabrics and fibers with dyes made from natural plant materials. The colors of natural dyes are softer and more muted that the chemical dyes of today. To get a deeper color you can let you object soak longer, be careful with paper it will disintegrate if left to soak too long. Materials: Plant materials Vinegar (mordant to set, or keep, the color) Rusty nails (the iron acts as a mordant and makes the color darker, or sadder if you want to use the proper dyers term) Something to dye: fabric, paper, cornhusks, etc. Large pot and water Wooden spoon Procedure: Gather lots of any one of the plant materials listed below. Cut or tear the materials into small pieces, and put in the large pot. Add just enough water to cover the plant materials. Bring the water to a boil and boil the materials for 5 20 minutes. Strain the dye. Pour it through cheesecloth or a strainer. The colored water is the dye solution. Add mordant to the dye solution or dye bath. A tablespoon or so of vinegar works great! This is where you add the rusty nails Reheat the dye Put object to be dyed into dye bath. You can do this by dipping or immersing the object and them letting it simmer until it reaches the color you like. Rinse your finished object in clear water Let it dry For this Color: Yellow Red Rose Purple Blue Green Tan Use one of these materials: Goldenrod, sassafras flower, onion skins, willow tree leaves, marigolds, orange peels, chamomile flowers Cherries, birch bark (gathered from the ground only) Willow bark (gathered from the ground only) Blackberries, elderberries Red cabbage leaves, sunflower seeds Carrot tops, grass clippings, spinach, moss Walnut shells, tea leaves, instant coffee (tea and coffee do not need to boil very long)
Many other plant materials will make a dye, experiment and see what you get! Try dying any of the following objects: T shirts (how about tying it with rubber bands first to have a natural tie-dyed T shirt?), corn husks for corn husk dolls, yarn to later weave with, maybe even cut a lacy doily from a coffee filter sort of like making a snowflake only lacier, more and smaller shapes) and dye that.

Quilt
Quilts were very much a part of life in the 1930s. They were a way to utilize the leftover fabrics from clothing the family made, and a way to keep warm during the winter, remember they did not yet have central heat. Quilt designs were mostly geometric. Creating paper quilts can be a great way for a class to create a group project where everyone has equal input. Paper quilts can be built around any number of themes, or can be simply geometric, or even a combination of both, assembled in a checkerboard style with drawn and geometric squares alternated to form a checkerboard pattern.

Simple Basket
Materials: Cardboard or poster board Basket pattern Scissors Yarn, string, natural vines
Procedure:
Trace the Pattern onto cardboard and cut out. Fold the sections up at the base to make the basket form. Start weaving your fiber strips at the bottom, securing the end of the first piece of fiber inside the basket with masking tape. Weave different pieces of fiber over and under the cardboard strips, adding new or different types of fiber as you go. When you add another piece, weave it over the end of the last piece you used, to hide the end. Continue weaving over and under, working up the side of the basket as you go. Weave up to about from the end of the basket frame. Fold the cardboard ends back and tuck them into the weaving; then finish the last rows, hiding the cardboard ends with them.
17. Produces an art product from each area: drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking and crafts. Fifth grade: 4. Recognizes that form can be open and hollow or closed and solid. 11. Creates a sculpture, which is open and hollow or closed and solid. 16. Produces an art product in each art area: drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking and crafts.
Vegetable Printing
Materials: Fresh vegetables Newspapers, to protect work surface Paint: tempera works well Paper to print on Trays to hold paint Procedure: Cover work surface with newspaper. Prepare the vegetables by cutting or slicing, vertically or horizontally, or butting the foods into shapes. Pour paint into trays. Dip the foods in the paint and then press them in place on the printing paper. Experiment by using different patterns and colors, as well as different textures and colors of paper to print on. To use this process on fabric, such as a T-shirt of pillowcase, or maybe even a sock, use acrylic or fabric paint. QCCs: Fine Arts, Visual Arts. Kindergarten: 3.
