Turn the hessian inside out and stuff it with straw or rags to create a nice round head shape. Using waterproof paint makers or indelible felt-tip pens, draw on eyes, a nose and mouth, giving your scarecrow a nice friendly face.
Alternatively you could use buttons. Create a cross shape with the two sticks. This the frame for your scarecrow. Secure carefully with string so it holds the cross shape firmly. To make the body, pad more straw or rags around the top section of the longer stick until you have created a plump torso shape, securing with twine as you go, then dress it with the shirt.
Pad out as necessary. Alternately, you can stuff an old pair of tights to create two arm shapes. Again, this can be done by stuffing an old pair of tights. Stand the scarecrow up, supporting it against a wall. Next, attach the head by pushing it onto the stick. Add the hat and a bandana or cravat if you have one. Tie bundles of straw to the arms and legs to make hands and feet, securing them with string. Or tie on an old pair of gardening gloves for the hands and use wellingtons for the feet.
Put your scarecrow into position and sink the wooden stick securely into the ground. You could place it in the middle of your raised beds or veg patch to keep birds away from your homegrown crops.
Add streamers, CDs attached to strings or anything else that will act as bird scarers to protect your patch. And that's it — we told you it was easy! It's a question of using whatever you have available. Put a skinny, but sturdy, pole into the ground.
You might need some help with this because the pole should be strong and secure. It can be helpful to put your scarecrow against a fence that will provide support. Use a rope or old belt to tie the pants to the pole you can thread one leg down the pole from the top.
Tie a cross piece a broomstick would be good to form the arms. Then put an old shirt onto the cross piece and tie it in place. Like the pants, this can be stuffed with straw, cloth or some old stockings. Tuck it into the pants. Make a head by stuffing a bag or old pillowcase. Rather than being purely decorative, a scarecrow can also serve a useful purpose besides scaring off crows.
This scarecrow has a plastic pot for a head that functions as a garden planter. Choose short ornamental grasses or plants that cascade over the sides of pots for your planter to serve as hair for the scarecrow. Why stop at one scarecrow?
Make a whole scarecrow family to represent your own family if you'd like. Everyone in the family can decorate their scarecrow however they want, including carving their own jack-o'-lanterns for the heads and picking out clothes.
Another option for a scarecrow display is to create a scene with a theme. And as raking leaves is a common fall activity, it's a natural fit for your scarecrow scene. Set up your scarecrows where leaves fall on your yard, and lean rakes against them. For an authentic look, fit gardening gloves over the scarecrows' straw arms to look like hands.
Hay bales make wonderful seats for scarecrows, evoking a rustic farm feeling. Plus, if you lean your scarecrow on a hay bale and stuff it with hay, you likely won't need another form of support pole. Surround the scarecrow with pumpkins, cornstalks, or fall flowers to complete the festive autumnal look. Actively scan device characteristics for identification.
