Meet Mr. Henry the Scarecrow!
You don’t really need a lot of items to create this handsome fella!😘
You can Recycle a bottle and use up some left over Burlap material or really any material you may have on hand!
I absolutely love being able to create something special with leftover items and bring them back to life as something totally different and simply beautiful!
This Scarecrow is a perfect example!
So I’m sure you have all you need on hand so let’s get to crafting!
Supplies You’ll Need:
Glass or plastic bottle
Material of any kind
Scissors
Paint I used chalk and acrylic, Black, Orange, Red, Green,White , Brunt Umber and Ivory
Dixie Belle Wax
Embellishments of your choosing
Hot Glue
Raffia
Once you have gathered your items you are ready to get him together!
I used an old glass milk bottle, I wiped it down and got it ready to paint it.
This is the paint I used for my base coat on the bottle !
I gave it two coats.
While that was drying I started working on my hat .
I cut a piece of burlap and rolled a piece for the top part and glued it
Then I cut a circle for the brim of the hat.
I glued the top and bottom together.
Then I cut a smaller circle for the top part.
Before I glued it on I stuffed a couple of pieces of paper towels and stuffed it in so it can stand up a little better . You can use some polyfil or a little cotton.
Once my bottle was dry I sketched his face on it.
Then before painting details I added a little cheek color . Remember go light with the cheeks you can always darken them if you want to .
I then added the rest of the face , eyes ,nose and mouth.
Then I added the details : eyelashes, line work and little white dots.
Once that was dry I grunged it up with a little watered down Burnt Umber . You can use any Brown color paint you have for this step . I just love the Burnt Umber shade of brown I have been using it for years.
I also speckled it with a old toothbrush and used a little Burnt Umber on the bottle too!
I went ahead and glued his hat on .
I tied some raffia around the hat .
I used this adorable Round Top metal flower I had for several years as an embellishment!
I just loved how it looked!
I went ahead and grunged up the hat with Dixie Belle wax!
He just looks so darn cute!
I made a cute little Fall tag !
I also added a loopy little rag bow before I glued my flower on !
Simply adorable! I just love how Mr. Henry the Scarecrow came out !
Just a bottle and a little Burlap!
