]]> 96798 1 47 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/253690/47.jpg Make the head and arms Make the head and arms by stuffing a pair of panty hose. Tie off at the waistband; then put both legs into the sleeves of the shirt, so the top of the pantyhose sits above the shirt collar as the scarecrow’s head.

]]> 96799 2 59 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/253690/59.jpg Stuff the shirt Leaving the shirt unbuttoned, tuck it into the pants. Then, safety pin it to the pants from the inside around the waist. Stuff the chest, buttoning the shirt as you go, until the body is full.

Cut out pieces of scrap fabric eyes, nose, and a mouth, and glue them into place. Then add finishing touches like suspenders, a hat, and loose straw around the head and collar.

]]> 96803 6 96 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/253690/96.jpg Attach a frame Nail the 2-by-4s into a cross, so the shorter piece is about 8 inches from the top of the longer piece. Staple the back of the scarecrow’s collar and pants to the longer piece of the frame. Staple the shirt cuffs and the shoulders to the crosspiece. The boots should be about a foot from the bottom of the longer piece.

]]> 96804 7 114 Tip Prop the scarecrow up near your front door if you don’t want to set up a frame.

]]> 96805 8 118 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/253690/118.jpg Plant the frame Dig a hole about a foot deep. Plant the bottom of the frame in the hole so the boots are touching the ground. Fill the hole in and pat the dirt down. Step back and marvel at a scarecrow worthy of the yellow brick road!
