Joel, <br /> <br />You can use raffia, which is very similar to dried corn husks and is available in most craft stores. Cut the raffia in varying lengths appropriate to the scale of your project, then glue them (I find spray adheasive works really well) to toothpicks or skewers, cut to the size you need. Once the raffia is glued in place you can trim and shape it. If you are trying to simulate fresh corn stalks you can usually find green colored raffia, or try using green ribbon. Good luck with your project! <br /> <br />Doug
