DIY: Scarecrow on a Stick

My son and I love to do these types of crafts. The arms and legs can move into fun poses and it’s on a stick so you can ‘plant’ them everywhere.

The scarecrow is a favorite for our fall decor. You can find him between apples and pumpkins or pretty fall leaves.

I have a pattern ready for you to download, print and color. You can add googly eyes, yarn for hair – be creative!

Basic Scarecrow:

You will need:

• 4 Brass Prong Paper File Fasteners
• card stock to print on
• scissors
• clear tape
• a stick
• markers, crayons, pencils

Print out the Scarecrow template. I like to color it first and then cut it out.

I love the Crayola Brand washable markers and recently bought a set of 50. I love them.

I use them for everything!

After I color in all the body parts I carefully cut them out.

Sometimes my son needs a little help with the ‘straw’ hands, feet and hair.

I use 4 fasteners for his arms and legs. Depending on the type of paper you used, you might want to poke a little hole with the tip of your scissors for the fastener to go through.

Be careful because you don’t want a big hole.

Clear tape helps to adhere the stick to his back.
