I have to polish off 3 jars of jelly & make these for my little next door neighbors!

Grama Lehr 09-20-2010 11:50 AM

I wonder if I could use baby food jars???

What a fun and adorable decoration :D:D:D
Thank you for sharing this tute!

You can also skip the candy. Use a gatorade bottle or similar. Add some dried beans inside for weight. Cover with your scraps and then add the scarecrow head- a new family heirloom. Add twig arms by cutting an X where the arms should go, insert, & glue. A 6th grade art favorite for years!

That is just so cute!!! I would love one!!!

Added a little sister. Just turn the head upside down, add a bow, earrings! A 6" circle stitched into a yo yo is the collar. I'm soaking a salsa jar for the body- to fill with candy kisses!

Do you think she needs eyelashes?

My boys ages 6, 8, and 9 have used a similar technique with a gatorade bottle and dried beans. They make snowman paper weights each year for their teachers. A new sock over the gatorade bottle, a triangle of felt for the hat, google eyes, and pipecleaners glued on for nose and arms. Very easy to do and the kids love to pick the colors of felt for the hats and scarves as well as twisting the pipe cleaners. Never thought about it as a fall activity before....

This is great!

euclid 09-22-2010 05:33 AM
