Paper Plate Scarecrow
Celebrate the coming of autumn with this adorable paper plate scarecrow. It's easy to put together and uses a minimal amount of supplies.
What you'll need:
- 1 paper plate
- Construction paper: brown, blue, orange, yellow
- Acrylic paint: pale yellow, pink, red, goldenrod
- Scissors
- Glue stick
- Black fine tip marker
- Pattern
How to make it:
- Cut 2/3 of the plate rim off, leaving 1/3 for the collar and straw. Set the 2/3 piece aside for a later step. (See photo.)
- Paint the round center of the plate with the pale yellow color.
- Paint the rest of the plate with goldenrod.
- Cut the pieces needed from the patterns. Use brown construction paper for the hat, blue for the hat band, yellow for the hair, and orange for the nose.
- Take the piece of plate that you cut off in step 1 and make a scallop cut (wavy curves). (See photo.) Set the remaining piece aside. Paint the scalloped piece red.
- Paint half of the remaining piece of plate with goldenrod paint. Cut into thin strips to use for the flower on the hat.
- Take the plate with the round center and cut the goldenrod section into fringed strips to create the neckline straw.
- Glue the red scalloped collar on above the neckline straw and below the round center of the plate.
- Glue the blue band to the hat and glue the brim on afterwards.
- Glue the goldenrod strips on one at a time, forming a flower shape on the right side of the hat band. Cut a small square from orange construction paper and glue to the center of the flower.
- Glue on the triangle nose and draw on eyes and a mouth.
- Dab a light amount of pink paint on for cheeks.
- Position hair where you want it, place hat on top of the hair. Reposition until you have it where you want it, then glue in place.
- Draw stitches on hat and nose if desired.
Tips:
- Add 3 dimensional features to this craft by using yarn for hair and a pom pom for the center of the flower.
- Add a magnet to the back to hang on the refrigerator.
- Tape a piece of ribbon or string to the back to make a hanger. Hang on your bedroom door to welcome fall!
