simple scarecrow

Pin It

This is an easy and different twist on your average scarecrow. I made these guys to display on my front porch with some corn stalks. Which I never grew. And never bought. So they are lonely, but they are definitely fun! All it takes is a couple of 2" x 2" posts, one longer than the other. I just used scraps that we had around the house. Like actually, I think some of it was leftover handrail from our basement stairs... not even actually square, but works just great. If you are going to stick them in the ground, you'll want to cut a wedge on the bottom of the long one to make it easier. I cheat and tie them on to my porch railing.

I screwed the short post (4 ft.-ish) on to the long one (6 ft.-ish) about where I thought his arms should be- just below where the hat would hang. I found the lovely flannel shirts at a local thrift store. I screwed the straw hat on the top of the pole, buttoned their shirts, and there you go!


happy crafting!
