Hi Stampers,
In my town (Eureka, MO) they're having a Scarecrow Festival all month long. There are fabulous work of art scarecrows all over town! For my local readers - come visit one weekend in October and check them all out!! It's a lot of fun...
So of course I had to get into the fun and make up some scarecrows of my own. Mom was going out to dinner last night and wanted to hand out some treats so we made up some Curvy Keepsake Boxes and dressed them up as scarecrows...
I one button for an eye, the top of the Tree punch for the nose and then used my Project Life journaling pens to doodle on the rest of the face! The hair was easy and FUN!!! I unraveled a bunch of Burlap Ribbon - I was left over with all that loose "Hay" with was fun to play with - and of course the long pieces hooked onto a bit of ribbon I didn't unravel - I glued that onto the box and trimmed it a bit to create the hair.
I also wanted to add a crow to my box but still wanted to be able to open the box - so I added a Black Bird to the top of half a small wooden coffee stir stick - tied on some ribbon and it slides right into the box between the two handle pieces.
They each came out a little different but this one is my favorite..
I love love the way his hair's flipping up!
If you have not seen the video for the curvy keepsake box yet - check out this post - it's so easy to put a box together!!
