Reuse Old Pots

 Use one of your old terra cotta pots to make a cute table scarecrow that people will absolutely love!

What you will need!

(1) 4 inch terra cotta pot and saucer

(4) 1 inch small terra cotta pots

Glass bowl (this is a candle holder)

Raffia

Craft Paint and Brushes

Hot Glue

DIRECTIONS:

• First you will want to paint on the scarecrow’s overalls. I traced mine on with a pencil before painting so that I would have it just the way I wanted. I chose to leave his top just the terra cotta color but you could paint a cute plaid top as well. I also went ahead and used a white paint pen to create the thread detail and pocket to the overalls. I didn’t paint the hat (saucer) either but if you want to paint it a tan color for a straw hat you can go ahead and do that as well
• While the overalls were drying I attached 2 of the 1 inch terra cotta pots together to create an arm using hot glue. Do this again for the second arm.
• Once the overalls are dry you can now attach the arms to the body, once again using hot glue. Allow the arms to set and then attach some raffia into the insides of the arms.
• Next hot glue some raffia on the top of the terra cotta pot. Don’t worry about trimming it up, you can do that at the end.
• Once you have enough raffia to your liking glue on the glass bowl and paint on his face.
• The last part is gluing some raffia on to the underside of the saucer to create the hat. I added a little flower but that is optional. Embellish however you see fit. You could also attach a wooden knob to make the hat easier to pick up.
• Trim up the raffia to your liking and your done.
