Craft Supplies:
- Large Paper Plate – 1 per craft
- Scarecrow Hat Printable – on our landing page
- White Cardstock Paper
- Craft Scissors
- Yellow Craft Paint
- Foam Paint Brush
- Markers/Crayons
- Brown Cardstock Paper
- School Glue
- Stapler
- Pumpkin/Scarecrow Stickers
Directions:
- First things first – cut off a small section of your large paper plate to make the bottom of the scarecrow house flat.
- Discard the small sliver you just cut off.
- Next up – paint the paper plate piece completely yellow {or any color you like!}
- Set aside to let it dry completely.
- Now print out the FREE hat roof template listed above. You only need to print one per scarecrow craft.
- Use markers or crayons to color in the scarecrow hat however you like.
- When done coloring it, use scissors to trim out the hat design.
- Before you discard the remaining white cardstock paper {from the printable} pick one of the corners to cut out TWO small circle windows for the house.
- At this point in time you should also cut out a simple door and chimney shape from the brown cardstock paper.
- Once the painted paper plate is dry and you have everything cut out/colored in, it’s time to start assembling your scarecrow fairy house! Start by stapling on the hat shape to the paper plate piece {just like a roof.}
- Follow that up by gluing/stapling the other embellishments in place as well.
- Finally – the embellishments! Go ahead and add anything else {like pumpkin and scarecrow stickers} for that custom look, before displaying proudly!
