Yes, Sheila! And the scarecrow can be a
miniature one for your front door or a decoration. You can even:
use a doll as a skeleton...like a Barbie or Ken.
use a stuffed bear as your main guy and dress him up, using some straw to stick out in places.
paint one on wood
polymer clay a scarecrow
The scarecrow is the theme ... what you do with it is up to you!!!
You can also google to find instructions for all kinds of scarecrows. Just type in "how to make a scarecrow".
