In our Build-a-Scarecrow workshop you'll create your own life-sized scarecrow—at least six feet tall—to guard the garden or haunt the porch this fall!

You'll also learn how to build a sturdy frame, stuff and shape your creation, and design the perfect Halloween head.

We’ll cover techniques for both cheerful harvest companions and terrifying ghouls, including how to “corpse” a scarecrow for a convincingly gruesome effect.

All materials to build a friendly or frightening scarecrow are provided. You'll just need to bring any old clothes and hats you’d like to dress your scarecrow in.
