Scarecrows

Building a scarecrow is fairly simple. You will need a frame, clothes, stuffing and accessories. 

​YouTube has some videos,  a Google search will bring up several instructional sites and there are tons of ideas on Pinterest

Need some inspiration? 

Think about a scarecrow that represents your Club, Business or Organization, or a scarecrow inspired by your favorite movie, book, singer, or hobby. 

 

Frames: 2x4's, pvc pipe, tomato cages, old broom handles or something similar. 

Stuffing: Hay, straw, styrofoam, fiber fill, plastic grocery bags, bubble wrap, pool noodles. Newspaper is not a good choice as rains will make it lose its shape and become very heavy. 

Heads: Buckets, milk jugs, plant pots, stuffed pillow cases or fabric
