I saw this posted and knew I had to make one. All you need is an old straw hat and a few items from the Dollar Store! (I got my hat at GoodWill!!)
Fold down the brim and start decorating. So simple I found the hat at GoodWill.
The traffic was bad after Irma so I bought cork rounds which I painted white and added black felt dots!
All the other items...hair, flowers, ribbon came from the dollar store.
I glued a small piece of black fabric onto cardboard with Elmer's glue and cut out the mouth. The nose if from a scrap of orange cloth.
I had enough supplies to make 3 hats!
Here is my work space. Scissors, glue gun and supplies.
I used cork circles painted white and black stick on smaller felt circles to make the eyes. Attached to face with hot glue gun.
The hat came from GoodWill; the hair is from Dollar Tree and I wired around the crown of hat before bending top of brim forward; and leaves were from Dollar Tree silk flowers which were randomly hot glued into place. The hat I posted has the fake hair.
This second hat also came from GoodWill is a little smaller and has raffia hair which is from the Dollar Tree.
fabric is difficult to cut small things neatly so I glued it to cardboard with Elmer's glue, let it dry overnight. Of course if you want, you can make luscious red lips!!!
Enjoyed the project?
Suggested materials:
- Hat (GoodWill)
- Ribbon, hair, flowers (Dollar Store)
- Eyes (Woodworking store)
- Mouth, nose (Scrap fabric I had)
- Raffia (Came with the hat)

P.S. The "hair" is a headband from the Dollar Tree! I could not resist silky, long blonde hair for my scarecrow Hottie!!!

Jeanette S on Sep 18, 2017Thanks, it was fun to make. I also made one for my daughter-in-law and she went right home and hung it! This girl was meant to wear red! LOL (This one has raffia hair which I think I like better)
