Materials

  • Burlap fabric (two 6×6-inch squares per scarecrow)
  • Raffia or straw (1 handful)
  • Orange, black, and white acrylic paint
  • Small fabric scraps or burlap for hats (4×4 inches)
  • 1-2 Faux sunflowers
  • Ribbon scraps (4 inches each)
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • Needle and thread or sewing machine
  • Wire or twine (6 inches per ornament)
  • Scissors and paintbrushes

Instructions

  • Cut two matching ovals from burlap for the scarecrow’s face. Stitch or glue around the edges, leaving a small opening. Then fill lightly with raffia or cotton stuffing, then close the gap.
  • Paint the scarecrow’s face witwith big black eyes, a stitched smile, and a carrot-orange triangle for the nose. Let it dry completely.
  • Cut small bunches of raffia for hair and glue them around the top edge. Then attach a burlap or fabric hat above it, folding the brim slightly for charm.
  • Add a faux sunflower and a ribbon accent to the hat for a cheerful touch.
  • Finally, glue or twist a small loop of wire or twine on the back so it can hang easily.
