YOUR GUIDE TO MAKING HALLOWEEN
SCARECROWS
Coming Summer 2010
 Traditionally scarecrows were made
from old clothes stuffed with straw or hay and secured to a mast
made up from two large sticks or boards attached together. For
hundreds, if not thousands of years, farmers have placed them in crop fields
and
gardens to keep crows and other unwanted birds away from the plants
being grown.
Scarecrows have also become a source for wonderfully scary Halloween decorations
and props. In fact, every year you see more and more springing up in
front yards as part of yard haunts. But instead of scaring birds,
they are meant to frighten trick
or treaters.
Many people, both kids and adults, find clowns to be very scary, but
we’ve always felt that
a scarecrow was a very sinister looking, even menacing figure,
particularly during the Halloween season. There are even Halloween
scarecrow costumes and masks available now!
As a member of the Halloween Online Family
of Websites, Halloween Scarecrow was created to provide you with
how-to articles on making the best and scariest Halloween
scarecrows! Whether you want to make a simple Halloween scarecrow or
