Crafts: Making a Scarecrow Head
My friend Sharon and I like to do a Halloween craft every year. This year we decided to do scarecrow heads. Hers was a more punk/skater dude and mine had a cape with deep dark eyes. This is how we made them:
These are the materials you will need. |
I cut out the eyes and mouth to make them deep and bigger. |
You make your adhesive mixture, a small bottle of glue and half the bottle of water. |
Dip burlap and squeeze off excess. |
Add burlap pieces to Styrofoam head. No particular pattern. |
Cover entire head and face. Use pins wherever the burlap raises up. |
After the first layer dries, I added a larger piece to look like a hood blowing in the wind. |

Next, we added lighter colors to give the scarecrows depth and dimension. I used bronze, grey, and a mixture of yellow and white to highlight the frayed edges. |
This is the final result. I plan to add a severed finger in his mouth at Halloween time. Sharon named him Chomper. |
Sharon added a green Mohawk, stitched eyes and spikes on the neck to finish her skater dude. |
