THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! It's by far the easiest I found. I didn't have enough towels to shape my adult size overalls so I tried sweatshirts. Ugh. But I had the following for a craft project: ~ ~8 x 12" (?) Amazon Prime bubble envelopes ~ ~ 2' wide strips of bubble wrap (large bubbles), approximately a total of 6' long. I replaced the towels with the bubble wrap, exactly as you directed for the towels. I used the envelopes to make the body and upper legs firmer. And of course still used a lot of bags! I followed all your directions, especially sizing the clothes! I wanted to share this information in case you'd be interested in recording a second video with making the scarecrows side by side, to offer viewers options. Thank you again. 😊. I hope no one sits on it!!! 😅
So glad you enjoyed, and yes, those are great ways to stuff the scarecrow as well! Since making the video, I've found additional ways to stuff the scarecrow. These include pool noodles, empty plastic bottles (anything from gallon jugs to 2 liter soda bottles to water bottles), and paper (but very important - stuffed inside a plastic bag otherwise the paper can get soggy and lose it's "fluffiness". I'm going to pin this comment so other viewers can find your suggestions as well! Thanks so much for sharing.
@@CraftersAutonomous I use water bottles duct tape together in funny positions for arms and 2 liter bottles for legs. For body i tape a big box shut and tie up in a garbage bag.... then i punch corners and shape into a torso. This makes a super ez extra light scarecrow or lawn sitter. Feet are super ez to make out of plastic bottles too! Then i spray paint them brown.
Unfortunately I don't know, because we've had them most of my life! haha Probably from Lowe's or Home Depot, but they also might have been from a local hardware store.
Great idea! I don't get the paper, and I don't know enough people who do, but you're right it would work really well for this project. Thanks for sharing!
@@CraftersAutonomous There are usually different free papers offering items for sale... Buyers Guide type things that sell used vehicles, furniture, appliances, etc, People selling the items pay to advertise their items thus making the paper free to 'shoppers '..... just a thought for you to find your newspaper without subscribing to a news publication at a cost.
@@VLDI1961 I do get a couple sales magazines each month (think Kohl's, Land's End, etc) but I never thought of using the paper in this way. Thank you for the suggestion! That is a really smart idea.

Water bottles and 2 liter bottles work well too.
Great idea!

You are very welcome!
I've seen a few people doing scarecrows on here but this one has got be the best one. So cute! I love it!
I've been trying to figure out how to put scarecrow together. I think the bags is a great idea.

Awesomeness

Awesome! I just yesterday reassembled him for the year when I was putting out some of my fall decor.
Where did you get the gloves?

You can definitely get cheap garden gloves or work gloves at dollar general. Maybe dollar tree, too. 🤔.
I think stuffing with newspaper would be a better idea - it holds it's shape when crumpled and is lighter in weight. Just a suggestion.
