I don't know what is happening to me this year but I feel like I am jumping with me decor ideas. One day my attention goes to super fancy McKenzie Childs like pieces that you can see it HERE and then I turn into simple things as making easy scarecrows DIY. I have made soo many of them soo far out of different materials.On my last Etsy shopping spree I found nice rustic bed springs so I decided to put them to work in this FALL crafting project.

Let's gather some styrofoam ball , drop cloth, drop cloth or any fabric you have and some burlap

Styrofoam ball that I had on hand had those little bumps on it so I decided to put some speckling into use to smooth it out a bit but of course it it optional. As you can see my specking turned my ball into pink but that will change as it dries .

As my styrofoam ball was drying I decided to cut up my drop cloth into little strips to create my scarecrow body.

Didn't want to fuss much about my scarecrow hat so I decided to cut a circle out of my burlap and for the hat rim. Upper portion for his hat will form 3 long triangles. My plan was to glue them together and insert in the middle of my circle

Just to add even more ragged look I decided to add some of raffia on the side. Raffia makes all look soo good! My hat is done! It was super easy scarecrow hat diy don't you think so ?

Now it is time to assembly all together and put those bed springs into cute fall craft! As I mentioned before I like to use my bed spring as scarecrow body so I decided to tie my pieces of drop cloth to the rim of a spring.

Painting face of my scarecrow wasn't easy ... I am simply not good at it so look on the side of this picture how many tries I had. My facebook friends were super helpful in this process. Love them to pieces! If you don't follow my page yet here is the link. We are super busy there! Join me for lots of fun

Don't you think it is perfect fall decor idea? Who doesn't love scarecrows ? Bed springs make super fun fall projects.

I am absolutely in love with my little fella ... Hope that I inspired you to make one for yourself. You need to agree that it was super easy scarecrow diy
