Scarecrows are one of the most common images or symbols for Fall, but if you don’t want to create a large decor, then you can try this cute version instead by Rachel’s Unique Crafts on YouTube. It’s super quick and easy to make using only a few simple materials, plus, you can repurpose some large mason or pickle jars if you already have one for this project. What makes this even better is that you can give this as a gift, too.
Materials:
- Large pickle jar
- Waverly chalk paint
- Paintbrush
- Black and orange acrylic paint
- False eyelashes
- Burlap
- Raffia
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Scissors
- Thick and thin ribbon
Directions:
Step 1
Remove the labels off of the pickle jar, then apply 2 coats of chalk paint making sure to let it dry in between applications, and then draw the face with acrylic paint. Use black for the eyes and mouth and orange for the nose as shown in the video. Once the paint has dried, dab some hot glue on the false eyelashes, and attach them above the eyes of the scarecrow.

Step 2
Next, dab hot glue on the neck of the jar, then adhere one end of the burlap, make sure to adhere the middle part so it overlaps down the face of the scarecrow like a straw hat, and gather the burlap as you adhere it all around the neck of the jar. Wrap a thick ribbon around the middle of the burlap, then secure it with hot glue, create a bow using a combination of ribbons, and hot glue it on the side of the hat. Cut a few pieces of raffia, then adhere them inside and at the center of the burlap, and you’re done!
