Give your kids a fun craft to do for Halloween with this scarecrow wall decoration. It's fun for farmers 8 and up all the way to seniors.
What you'll need:
- 2 Straw hats - 16" and 12"
- Raffia
- Felt
- Pipe cleaner
- Ribbon
- Tacky craft glue or hot glue gun
How to make it:
- Cut the 12" hat in half.
- You will need a small package of colored raffia (if available). Spread out and place on the crown of the 16" hat. This is representing the hair on his/her head.
- Glue raffia in place with thick designer tacky or hot glue whichever is available to you.
- Now place glue on the cut edge of the 12" hat and place atop hair and against brim of 16" hat.
- Cut triangles out of felt for eyes and nose. Place on crown forming face.
- Use a black pipe cleaner for his mouth. Bend pipe cleaner /\/\/\/\/\ so it looks like that. Glue to crown.
- Make a bow for neck area (under crown) and glue in place.
Tips:
I put fall leaves on top of his hat to also give some color. It can be done actually with any size hat, just adjust accordingly.
