How to make Scarecrow stick crafts

What you need:

• craft sticks (6 regular or large sticks to make the scarecrow and smaller sticks to hold them together – you can also cut regular sticks in half)
• glue (white school glue is great for wood)
• drag
• Palm fiber (you can use paper instead)
• orange or brown felt or paper
• faux mini leaves (optional)
• scrap
• black marker
• hand painted (yellow or light brown)
• paintbrush
• 2 divine eyes
• 2 buttons

Step-by-step instructions

Start by placing five craft sticks.

Take smaller ones or cut a regular one in half and glue them to five sticks to secure them in place.

This forms the body of the handmade scarecrow. Wait for the glue to dry before moving on to the next step to ensure all parts remain in place.

Once the glue has dried, flip your scarecrow’s body (well, head) over.

Glue a regular sized craft stick vertically to create the hat (if you glue it at a slight angle it will look better).

Paint the top of the stick and staff with brown paint (or any other paint you want for your scarecrow’s hat).

Wait for the paint to dry.

The bottom part can be left as is because the natural color of the craft stick matches the scarecrow well. But you can also let your child draw that part.

Raffia fiber is very effective in making hair for scarecrows. Alternatively, you can also cut thin strips of beige paper and glue them to craft sticks. Yarn will also work.

We’re almost done with the hat! Ribbon or scrap strips of fabric work great as a hat decoration.

A fake leaf (or dried real leaf) is also a nice touch. You can also use other fall-themed decorations like sunflowers, acorns, and corn…

Add googly eyes, a pair of buttons for the cheeks, and a triangle of fabric (or felt or paper) for the nose.

Draw a smiling mouth with a black pen.

And there you have it – a cute popsicle stick craft.

Let children play with creating more unique scarecrows.

The possibilities are endless, so let your child’s imagination run wild.

We hope you enjoyed this stick figure scarecrow craft tutorial and spent some quality time with your little ones!
