It is a scarecrow maden out of two hats, raffia, felt and a pipe cleaner. It is easy for kids 8 and up and seniors. Parental supervision is recommended.
This project is rated EASY to do.
What You Need
2 Straw hats - 16 and 12 inch 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.
I put fall leaves on top of his hat to also give some color.
Note: It can be done actually with any size hat. Just adjust accordingly. |
