Scarecrow

But it will certainly bring joy and autumn image to your home or garden.

To make it you will need:

• a terracotta jar with a hole in the bottom
• a polystyrene bauble (the size of the jar)
• bits and pieces of colorful fabric
• a piece of jute
• a package of raffia
• a straw hat
• artificial autumn flowers
• acrylic paints in the shades of fabric
• a stick (a little bit thicker than the hole in the jar)
• hot glue or universal glue

1 Choose the bits and pieces of fabric to make sleeves and legs and then paint the jar in the same shade.

2 Cut out rectangulars (a little bit higher than the jar), place a little raffia, roll it and glue the fold with glue.

3 Do the same with the sleeves. Fix the ends with a piece of raffia.

4 Use a knife or a pencil sharpener to sharpen the stick and then place the jar on it.

5 Glue the sleeves on the top of the jar.

6 Place the polystyrene bauble on the top of the stick, wrap it with a piece of jute, fix it with raffia and cut off the extra fabric.

7 Glue hair, the hat and a flower. Draw eyes, a nose and a smile with a felttip pen or contour liner.

8 Glue legs next to the stick on the bottom of the jar.

Place the scarecrow in the garden or in a pot filled with pebbles and decorative moss on the top.
