Set 9 popsicle sticks next to each other, lining them up so the tops and bottoms are even.
Cut the ends off 2 other popsicle sticks so they fit across the nine.
Add a line of glue to one side of the trimmed popsicle stick.
Flip it over and glue it into place about 1 inch away from the top of the sticks.Repeat with the second trimmed popsicle stick, placing this one an inch away from the bottom.
Step 3: Paint the scarecrow's hat
Flip the popsicle sticks over (so the glued ones are on the bottom). Starting at the left, paint the top inch or so green -- or whatever colour you'd like the scarecrow's hat to be.Paint across the popsicle sticks on a diagonal line, moving up towards the right.
Paint another loose popsicle stick the same colour. Be sure to paint the sides/edges of this stick as well.Allow the paint to dry.
Add a line of glue to the back of the loose green popsicle stick.
Attach this popsicle stick at the edge of the painted section, creating a brim for the scarecrow's hat.
Step 4: Attach the scarecrow's hair
Make two little bundles of raffia (about 8 pieces each) and cut them to be about 8 inches long.
Turn the scarecrow over and add a generous dot of hot glue to the top back.
Place the bundle of raffia into the glue and then add more glue on top. Hold the raffia until it stays in place.
Repeat on the other side. Don't turn the scarecrow back over until the glue is completely dry.
Trim the scarecrow's hair to whatever length you think looks best. Ours is about 2 inches longer than the edge of the popsicle sticks.
Step 5: Add the scarecrow's face
Cut a triangle shaped nose from orange felt and gather the pieces to put the scarecrow face together. You'll need 2 googly eyes and a flower decoration for the scarecrow's hat.
Add hot glue to the center back of the flower and attach it on the left side of the hat.Glue on the nose and then attach the googly eyes above and on either side of the nose.
Use a paint pen or marker to draw a smile on the scarecrow's face. Then draw vertical stitch marks across the smile.
