Popsicle Stick Scarecrow

Directions

1. Cut two of the popsicle sticks shorter.
2. Arrange nine sticks side by side to form a rough square shape.
3. Glue the two shortened sticks horizontally across the back of the square with a hot glue gun.
4. Use a pencil to lightly sketch a diagonal line across the upper portion of the square, dividing it into two sections for the hat and face.
5. Apply flesh-colored paint to the area above the diagonal line for the face, and paint the area below with orange for the hat.
6. Color the last unused stick orange with paint; this will become the hat's brim.
7. Using hot glue, fix the orange brim stick, googly eyes, a small orange felt triangle for the nose, a dried fall flower, and strands of raffia as hair onto the scarecrow.
8. With a black permanent marker, add a smiling mouth to complete the scarecrow's expression.
