This adorable scarecrow made from a coffee can is the perfect decoration for your fall party table!
Fall is full of fun for the kids. Try out more of our fall crafts, as well as some of our great fall recipes and printable activities.
What you'll need:
Coffee can
2 sheets tan felt
Small scrap of orange felt
2 large mismatched buttons
18" twine
Scissors
White craft glue
Instant grab glue
Raffia
Small straw hat
2 silk flowers
How to make it:
Put lid on coffee can. Cover coffee can with tan felt using white craft glue. (See photo.)
Place coffee can on its side and use instant grab glue to pipe on the mouth. Cut twine to fit on the glue smile and press in place. Cut remaining twine into one inch pieces. Use instant grab glue to attach to the smile in a stitch type fashion. (See photo.)
To make the nose, cut a triangle from orange felt and use instant grab glue to attach it just above the smile.
Use instant grab glue to attach two buttons for eyes.
Stand coffee can up and pipe a generous amount of white craft glue onto the coffee can lid. Cut raffia into 18" lengths and place on top of lid, covering the lid (be sure the raffia lines up properly with the facial features!). Let dry. (See photo.)
Glue the hat onto the raffia hair.
Glue two silk flowers to the hat. (See photo.)
Tips:
Many coffee companies are moving using plastic containers. You can still use these plastic containers to create this craft, or scale down the size and use a vegetable can instead.
