Toilet Paper Roll Scarecrows

by

This is a simple fall craft you can customize easily.  Feel free to make a few scarecrow friends to play with!

Supplies:

  1. Assorted construction paper - I used red, orange, brown and blue.
  2. Markers - I used pink and black.
  3. Googly eyes
  4. Yellow yarn or straw
  5. Glue or glue stick
  6. Tape
  7. Scissors
  8. Toilet paper roll

Directions:

  1. Cut the pants for the scarecrow about half or slightly over half the length of the TP roll.  Wrap around the whole roll and either glue or tape in place.
  2. Add on the face.  Stick on googly eyes, cut out nose and glue in place, draw on mouth and cheeks.
  3. Next, make the hat by cutting out a square about 5 inches by 5 inches. Fold the square in half to make a triangle, then once again to make another triangle.  Tape the side of the triangle together to form the hat. Set the hat aside.   
  4. Cut out patches in little squares.  Glue the patches onto the hat and pants.  Draw on lines with black marker to show the sewing marks.
  5. Cut an assortment of yellow yarn or straw and place onto the scarecrow's head.  Use tape if needed to help hold it in place.
  6. Lastly, place the hat onto the scarecrow's head.  If you want, bend the edges of the hat to give it a worn look.
