This Diy scarecrow was created from a picture that a friend recently sent to me asking if I could make a large version of the scarecrow for her.

He turned out so adorable that I wanted to share with you how I made my diy scarecrow.

Scarecrow Made From Cedar Pickets

Take the 17″ piece of trim and glue it down at an angle up towards the top of your cedar pickets for the scarecrows hat brim.

Once the glue on the trim for the brim (-; is dry flip over and screw it down.

Then glue down the 10″ onto the back for added support. Staple or screw down as well.

I started out using my magic wood aging solution for the scarecrows face, but it came out way to dark.

So I went back over the face of my diy scarecrow with a light coat of acrylic flesh paint.

Next paint the scarecrows hat dark brown.

Draw the face on your diy scarecrow.

Then paint the face using your acrylic paints.

Make a bow out of burlap.

Then staple the bow onto the hat brim of your diy scarecrow. And that’s it.

Isn’t he adorable?

      Thank you Carol! I love working with wood. Thought I would give it up and just make jewelry, but that didn’t work. I make more out of wood then jewelry, at least since we moved.

    Hi Linda,
    Thank you again for contributing it to my roundup post that includes lots of great DIY Halloween decorating projects like yours. I’m sure my readers will appreciate your tutorial. I know I did! My scarecrow/snowman turned out so cute! I used left over wide tongue and groove paneling wood to make mine. It looks adorable on our porch and in a month I’ll just flip it around and be ready for the winter season. Much appreciation.
