To add miniature corn cobs to your dolls house or other scale corn stalk, glue one of the cobs you made in steps five and six to your stalk just above where the next leaf will be placed. Angle the cob so that it faces away from the stalk at a 30 to 45 degree angle. Set it aside to dry

When the cob is glued to the stalk, place a leaf just below the corn cob so that it covers the corn cob base and wraps around the wire stem, enclosing the base of the corn cob in the leaf. You should not be able to see any sign of the corn cob stem or base. Glue the leaf in place.

Continue to add corn cobs until you have as many as you want on each stalk. Make sure the leaves get longer and a bit wider as you go down the stalk.
