Instructions:
If you are going to give gifts to your guests, give them something worth keeping, give them a life long memory.
- To start, click on the link below to access this FREE pattern along with my other free project resources.
- Print the pattern on regular paper. Now, go ahead and cut one of the faces out with scissors and set it to the side.
- Take a 5-gallon paint stick and measure and market it at 5″ in length. Take the 1-gallon paint stick and measure and market it at 3″ long.
- Using a saw, cut the sticks along your marks.
- Now, it is time to paint. I have used dark brown acrylic paint for the scarecrows hat and a light tan for his face. Feel free to use whatever colors that you desire.
- When the paint finishes drying, take your pattern and a small piece of transfer paper. Lay the transfer paper on top of the face section of your paint stick with the darker side pointed down. Please note, the transfer paper is one-sided. You can test the transfer paper direction with a scratch piece of paper if needed.
- Now, place the printed face pattern on top of the transfer paper. Make sure that the printed design is lined up properly with your stick. I recommend taping it in place.
- Take a pencil and trace the pattern.
- Once the face is showing your stick, go ahead and retrace the lines with your colored Sharpie markers.
- Create the scarecrow’s hat by gluing the smaller stick onto the top of the larger one.
- Glue pieces of 2″ twine onto the back of the hat and also glue it beside the face. Now your scarecrow has hair.
- You can add a little dimension to your hat by drawing a few lines across it with a black Sharpie marker.
- For the last step, take a magnet strip that is approximately 2″ long and attach it to the back of your scarecrow.
