Get crafty and use a terra cotta pot to create your own unique version of a scarecrow decoration!
Craft Supplies:
- Terra Cotta Pot
- Various Shades of Craft Paint
- Paint Brushes
- Small Paper Plate
- Decorative Small Foam Pumpkin
- Black Sharpie Marker
- Decorative Plastic Leaves
- Small Craft Buttons
- Low-Temp Hot Glue Gun
Directions:
- First have your child flip the pot over and paint it however they like. We went ahead with two shades of blue, to make an overalls design. You can do whatever the heart desires for this part!!!
- When done painting, set aside the terra cotta pot to let it dry completely.
- Next is the pumpkin head. Our pumpkin already had the flowers/decorations on it {thank you Dollar Tree} so all we had to do was paint on a face with a Sharpie marker.
- Then I hot glued some leaves to the bottom of the pumpkin and then glued that to the pot.
- To finish off our Terra Cotta Pot Scarecrow – I hot glued some buttons to the front in a line and that was it! Perfect for displaying on the front porch or in your living room! Remember – this idea can be made in LARGE scale too!
