How To Make A Foam Scarecrow Craft

Start your scarecrow craft session by downloading and printing the free Scarecrow Template. (Available at the end of this post.)

Next trace around the scarecrow template onto your craft foam and cut out the pieces.

Using the photographs to guide you, use the cool temp glue gun to attach the head on top of the dark brown portion of the back of the scarecrow’s hat.

Then glue the raffia straw onto the dark brown portion of the hat.

Glue the light brown hat on top of the head, slightly overlapping the straw.

Glue a straight line of red or green craft foam onto the top of the hat. Cut off any excess.

Glue the eyes, nose and rosy pink cheeks onto the face.

Turn the scarecrow over and glue the plaid ribbon to the back. Fold the ribbon over so that you don’t have any rough edges.

Glue another piece of plaid ribbon on the outside of the scarf. Fray the edges with scissors.

Glue an artificial sunflower on top of the hat.

Use a black marker to draw on a smile and your scarecrow craft is finished. Enjoy it as it is or glue it on to a stick to make a quick scarecrow puppet.

Whether you’re making scarecrows in the classroom or at home, this scarecrow craft pattern makes it easy instructions to make a scarecrow will have you up and running in no time. Those pesky crows don’t stand a chance!
