Scarecrows

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

YouTube has some videos or a Google search will bring up several instructional sites.

​

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. There are tons of ideas on Pinterest

​

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

• Stuffing: Hay, straw, styrofoam, fiber fill, plastic grocery bags, bubble wrap. 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.
