I have read about suitable papyrus substitutes made from corn husks, or iris leaves, or other suitable vegetable materials using pretty much the same methods as papyrus manufacturing, only substituting these materials for the papyrus itself.

I have not yet tried this myself, but plan to some time in the future.

I have read that even the papyrus scrolls you buy on the street in Egypt are more than likely made of these materials instead of true papyrus. They suggest going to a reputable shop for the real deal.
