We were able to create a whole field of them to scare off any crow==we never did make the crows though. This was a step by step project and the class was definately up to doing this--even some of the younger kids cut raffia, put the faces on their scarecrow, and dressed them in ponchos or skirts.We kept to using raffia ties on the arms and legs although some resorted to twist ties to secure the ends of the arms.
I am putting the step by step instructions on my website if you didn't make the class and want to make one or more for your fall decor. http://sites.google.com/site/woodenitbewonderful
The Family Arts & Crafts group meets at the Wells Branch Community Library every Wednesday night at 6 pm taught by Dianne Koehler. The program lets us turn donated or recyclable materials and imagination into great projects.
You may also want to take a look at the new Art & crafts database the library recently subscribed to for the patrons. check the library website for details.
