Last week I met with some of the spouses of soldiers in my husband's unit & made a bunch of cards for them to have to send loved ones when they deploy in a few months. Some had never stamped before & we all had a lot of fun. The night before I thought about making everyone a little something that they could take home & enjoy for the fall season. I have seen these cute scarecrows all over blog-land, the most recently over at frenchiescraps, & I've been wanting to make one. Thank you Frenchie for your inspiration :)
What do ya think? Isn't he the cutest? After he was put together I glued him to the front of a Fancy Favor box & stuck some candy in it before handing everyone theirs. We don't do anything for Halloween so I love the fact this little guy doesn't look Halloween-y; I plan on leaving him out until we get our Christmas stuff out :) His hat is made from the Top Note die & notched out using a circle punch. The "straw" is 1/8" strips of River Rock card stock; I spritzed the strips with water & crumpled them up. I would have used a paper shredder but ours doesn't cut paper that way :( But I think he looks good anyway :). His hat is made out of some designer paper from the Summer Smooches pack. I didn't get a picture of it but the box is made using Lucky Limeade card stock. The adhesive that worked the best for this project was the TomBow Multipurpose Liquid glue; I wanted to make sure he stays on his box ;)
Hope everyone's enjoying some fall weather wherever you are :) Have a wonderful week!
