10. Fun-Loving Scarecrows

Slide 10 of 10

And what’s a fall craft without one for kids, too? In fact, these are cute enough that kids or not, you’ll probably want to make one—or ten! Popsicle stick scarecrows are just the cutest, and there’s so much you can do to make an entire family of scarecrows!

You’ll need: Jumbo Craft Sticks, cardboard (use cereal boxes cut into 5″ x 3.5″ rectangles.), white glue, craft foam: 1 rectangle for the hat, 1 small strip as the hat ribbon, and 1 small triangle for the nose, raffia, googly eyes, glue dots (optional), marker or crayon, flower stickers (optional).

Get all your instructions here.

Autumn crafts are the best! There’s not much better in this world to decorate for than, well, perhaps Christmas! Think leaves and nature, gourds and pumpkins, blankets and candles, books and stories for the kids. The great thing about these crafts is they’re all relatively easy, not going to hurt your pocketbook, and many can be done with children!

So, build in some quality time for relaxing crafts. Allow your imagination to soar, and don’t worry, if you’re not an orange and yellow fall color person, you can do white pumpkins and hues of beiges and browns for a more contemporary look!

Have fun. Craft on!
