Hey Pegi...

Take a broomstick, stand it upright, about 8 inches from the top attach a yardstick crossways. That would be your skeleton; the yardstick will be the arms. Think about a roundish thing that isn't too heavy for the head. Maybe a roundish bowl or basket or even one of the large empty veggie cans. Slip it over the 8 inches of broomstick at the top for the head. E6000 will hold all that together. There you have a skeleton. The hair can be dried grass, so can the hands....See?

But a broomstick makes a pretty big scarecrow, so you might want to start with a smaller skeleton. You can do this, promise!!

Sheila, Ms. Ruby will be ready in just a few days. Y'all will be the first to see her when she makes her debut!!
