How to be a scarecrow, how to be a scarecrow

With two sticks, build a cross first, fixed with a nail or rope in the middle. Then wrap all the sticks in straw, and there may be some dead ends for him to put on some old clothes that you don't need, and then bring a broken hat and put it in the ground, and from time to time there will be a little bird or two standing on top of the scarecrow's head.

1. Build a framework. First, prepare a stick about a meter long, place it near the top of a meter-long stick, rake handle, or any pole-like object in the garden, and align its center with the vertical pole. Then, use a screwdriver, screws, or something like hemp rope or hot melt glue to hold the shorter stick in place.

2. Dress the scarecrow. Dress the scarecrow in an old plaid shirt and equip the scarecrow's torso with a horizontal stick that serves as its arms. Next, button up the shirt and tie the ends of the arms and the bottom of the shirt with hemp rope or thread.

3. Fill the inside of the shirt. Use your brain to find something to fill your scarecrow. Straw, hay, leaves, grass clippings, wood chips, and rags are all good fillers.

4. Put on work clothes for straw molds and people. Make a small hole in the bottom of the garment so that the vertical stick can fit through the garment. Then, dress the scarecrow in overalls and place a belt on its shoulders.

Next, tie the cuffs tightly with hemp rope or thin thread. Finally, fill the scarecrow's legs with the same padding as you would when wearing a shirt.

5. Put your hands on the scarecrow. The straw on the cuffs of the old-fashioned scarecrow shirt is partially exposed, this is to make it look more like a real person, and you can put old work gloves or garden gloves on the scarecrow's hands. Remember to stuff the gloves with padding to make them look fuller, then place the gloves at the ends of the shirt cuffs and secure them with wire or hemp rope.

6. Put your feet on the scarecrow. Tuck your trouser leg into the top of your old work boots or other shoes. Sew every part of the trouser leg with a needle and thread, and of course, glue it with hot melt glue.

3. Make the scarecrow's upper body and headAnother bundle of straw is sawed to the appropriate length to serve as the scarecrow's upper body. Use wire to secure your upper body to the straw bundle on your feet. Make the scarecrow's arms out of wheat stalks and fix them on the sides of the upper body.

Two bundles of straw are tied together with a rope to serve as the head of the scarecrow.
