How to make corn husk futon:

Materials/tools: corn husks, water, scissors, rope.

1. Choose corn husks: Choose long, wide and white corn husks because the futon woven from this kind of corn husks will be more beautiful. At the same time, make sure the corn husks are soft and tough so that the woven futon will be more durable.

2. Soak the corn husks: Soak the selected corn husks in the laundry tub to make the corn husks softer and easier to weave. At the same time, the soaked corn husks can remove part of the natural dry taste and make the woven futon more comfortable.

3. Choose knitting materials: It is best to weave futons on cloudy and rainy days when you cannot work in the fields. This is because the indoor humidity is high in rainy weather, which is conducive to the weaving of corn husks, and it can also avoid drying and deformation of corn husks due to hot weather.

4. Prepare weaving tools: You need to prepare some corn husks, water, scissors, rope, etc. Corn husks are the main material for weaving futons. Water can be used to adjust the humidity of the corn husks, scissors can be used to trim the corn husks, and ropes can be used to fix and connect various parts of the futon.

5. Start weaving: Arrange the corn husks piece by piece, and then start to weave the futon. Weave the corn husks layer by layer and roll them tightly until they are completely integrated and compacted. During the weaving process, attention needs to be paid to maintaining the humidity and softness of the corn husks to avoid dryness, cracking or over-humidity deformation. Finally, trim the futon, and a corn husk futon is completed. Trimming includes trimming excess corn husks and fixing the shape and structure of the futon.
