Easy DIY Scarecrow

October 23, 2015

Easy DIY Scarecrow

I know that I mentioned in my last post that Jace and Zoey get to do all kinds of adorable crafts now that they go to school. A couple of weeks ago they had a sign up sheet for people who would volunteer to make a scarecrow for the fall festival that we have to go to later today.

Is it too late for fall DIYs? I think not! Fall isn’t over, and this guy took like 30 minutes to make. Well, not including drying time. I also spent $0. Yes, made it with all stuff that we already had. Well, the school supplied the sticks.

Easy DIY Scarecrow Craft

Here’s what we used:
1. Sticks (one has a pointy end and one is like a paint stirring stick)
2. Cereal Box and paper to wrap it in
3. Clothes to dress your scarecrow
4. Markers/crayons/glue/ribbon whatever you choose to use

Bam. thats it.

We literally used scrap paper to wrap this cereal box up.

Then the kids and I drew a face.

I used a fall colored ribbon that I had in my craft box to tie the sticks into a cross and glued the box to the sticks. Then, I used one of my old work shirts to dress it. Yes, I know my scarecrow is wearing a publix shirt. But sometimes when items go off to preschool they don’t make it back. SO I wasn’t about to send him off in one of my plaid shirts that I actually wear and like. haha! Plus, the shirt was missing a button and I couldn’t wear it to work anymore. (Seriously Publix, get your button sewing skills together!)

Then I stole this hat back from Zoey and made a little stand with an old flower pot.

I think it’s kind of adorable considering what it is, a cereal box and sticks! The kids were pretty proud of their creation, which makes me like this simple project even more!

    So cute! I didn’t even realize it was a cereal box at first. That is such an awesome idea!

    That scarecrow is so cute! I’m so glad that this is a cute scarecrow and not a creepy one. Scarecrows tend to creep me out. But I’m sure it still gets the job done!
