Papereless origami or what can you do with corn husks?
I always dreamed of a warm home in which to have objects of wood and wool. These great baskets with natural colors captured me completely. Who would have thought to color with tea? :)
The work is both practical, for example baskets and decorative as creative paintings or flower arrangements.
When I got back to Earth after this discovery I realized how much similarity these corn husks have with origami folding.
In Japanese culture, a symbol of the origami is perishability, which you get from paper. For how long do these husk creations last? It keeps popping up in my mind the dry and fragile husks from my parental house.

Making the roses out of corn husks
Next I will show you how to make a corn husk rose.
1. First choose the corn husk, and as per your preference you can either leave it in the natural color or dye it with different colors.
2. Break the husk in pieces, but soak it beforehand. Get some scissors and thread ready.
3. Take a strip, place it with the glossy side down and keep the thicker side in the left hand . Fold it as shown (within) with the left hand and then twist the thickest part of the left hand, to form a strain.
4. Afterwards, with repetitive motion, fold the husk (outside) with your right hand and twist around the stem, until finally forming petals.
5. We fold tightly the rest around the stem and tie it with string so that the rose will not come loose.
6. Thread the husk with a thin strip of husk, use the strip to form a Font
7. Finally cut the excess ends and the rose will look good. Then leave to dry.
