I adore scarecrows! For me, they totally symbolize Fall and everything about it. I painted the top part of the board brown as well as an old plank for the hat and hat brim, the rest white for his face, then I painted his cute face on. Then I glued raffia on the hat brim and stapled it to the hat. Finally, I added the sunflower, leaves and bow and that was it. The entire decoration took less than 40 minutes and most of that was drying time for the paint.
I love him!
