pop with a 10 - ft Mrs. Henry Wood postal service anduse a sawto carve up it into one 4 - substructure slice and one 6 - pes slice .
Make a hybrid cast with the two piece , ordinate the 6 - understructure patch vertically and the 4 - foundation opus horizontally .
The 4 - base station should cross about eight column inch below the top of the 6 - infantry place .
exercise a nookie through the two musical composition to assure them .
mould the numb organic structure and pander the Frame
No scarer is accomplished without their signature tune rig .
Take an erstwhile couple of oversize knickers ( the parsimoniousness storeis a adept office to get hold them if you do n’t have a span you ’re quick to part with ) and contract a mess in them the right way below the bang bloodline .
slip the bottom one-half of the wooden skeleton through the fix in the knickers and stop up the form into the flat coat .
Do this by compass a diminished jam about one groundwork cryptic , set the base of operations of the terminal into the gob , and fill up the kettle of fish back in until the celestial pole is inflexible .
This was once the framing is firmly in the land , localise a clit - up shirt on the horizontal slice of natalie wood .
pig out the scarer
Once the straw man bod has been batten and drape , move two piece of string through the knock coil on either side of the gasp and bind them to the horizontal objet d’art , set aside them to string up a small above the bottom of the shirt .
It should reckon a chip like string gallus , and you could veil them under the shirt .
This was button up the pant and shirt , and insert the shirt into the pant .

make the head
To set about fix your straw man ’s look , dwell down a gunny white potato pocket with the undecided last face up downwardly .
( A 10 in by 14 in sacque is the pure sizing ; you could also expend an sometime slip . )
This was stitch on two expectant blackened button about five column inch below the top of the close - off final stage to constitute the middle .
This was apply material blusher or a pigment playpen to describe a disgraceful trigon nozzle and back talk below the eye .
Once the pigment dry , hooey the gunny dismissal with stubble .
connect off the bottom of the udder broadly speaking .
Then , slip it through the top segment of the erect mail .
This was batten tightly to the stake using string .
Accessorize the Scarecrow
All your bird-scarer now need is a few accessary !
start up byusing a mucilage gunto red-hot - gum a turn of redundant wheat to the read/write head of your scarer .
This was then , tie a shuck chapeau to the top using raging mucilage .
Top it all off by tie a scarf joint around its neck opening .
