Tabletop {Keepsake} Scarecrows DIY

 I'm just a little excited to share this project with YOU!

I made these scarecrows 

about 10 years ago...

and I LOVE to bring them out each Fall season,

because I made them with my kids clothes! 

  

 Even though they have raffia hair,

muslin faces, and painted button eyes....

 these little scarecrows remind me of a  

very special time!

 Muslin face, painted features, and buttons for eyes.  I stuffed the faces with polyfill, and attached the raffia with needle and thread.

He is supported by a 1" X 1" that is attached to a simple flat base.

 This beauty, is made the same way, with the addition of little button lips.

Her head is supported by a bent wire coat hanger.

I added little "patches" of scrap fabric with dark stitches.  

This year she needed a little re-stuffing in places.

Plastic bags, newspaper, or polyfill all work!

 I've used them indoors for a table top decoration. 

They have also greeted visitors on our front porch side table, 

or atop a hay bale.

 So all you Mommies and Grandmommies....

save those cute clothes and make a

keepsake scarecrow!

I think you'll enjoy seeing them every year, just like I do!!!
