Supplies Needed
How to Make Upcycled Lightbulb Scarecrow
Paint all of the outside of the lightbulb cream or the skin color desired then set aside to dry.
Once the paint has dried, use a red paint pen to draw a red triangle on the center of the bulb.
Use a black paint pen to draw on two oval eyes and a squiggle for the mouth.
Add a dab of red paint on each side of the mouth and use a piece of paper to dab to smudge.
Outline the nose with black marker.
Wrap raffia over the top of the bulb.
Secure the raffia with a strip of flannel cloth tied with a knot on one side or a bow if desired.
Trim the edges and add a ribbon or twine to the top for hanging.
Hang or display your scarecrow as desired throughout the Fall season and holidays.
