Easy and Super Cute Flower Pot Scarecrow DIY For Your Home

Fall

Or I could plant mums in him. I decided to start here and when the mums die, I can put the hat on him.

Are you ready for a DIY scarecrow flowerpot? In the past, I made a flower pot Nutcracker. He was so much fun to make, that I decided to try making flower pot scarecrows. This is the perfect way to try using terracotta pots in a unique way to create an easy fall craft!

The first flower pot I painted with Folk Art Home Decor Chalk paint. The larger portion would be the face and I used the color Sheepskin, and the rim I used Vintage Mustard. I set that aside to dry.

To make this flower pot scarecrow I used 3 terracotta flower pots.

The second flower pot I flipped upside down and slipped over a child's shirt for the body.

    Hi,
    I’m almost done making the scarecrow terracotta craft but having trouble keeping them the pots glued together.
    Any ideas will help. What kind of silicone sealer did you use.
    Thanks

      Thank you, Peggy. I don’t recommend hot glue because it doesn’t hold up well to hot and cold fluxuation. I like to use silicone.
