Thread: Help with Pumpkin Scarecrow

Tweet

Hi Everyone I;m new to the art of halloween haunting and I'm trying to tackle a big project of building a giant pumpkin scarecrow (like spookyblue's) would anyone have some advice around what I could do to make this challenging project a little easier on myself!

I am currently making one with branches and sticks screwed together with a paper mache pumpkin head.
The body took no time at all but the head will take a little longer.

Not sure what spookyblue scarecrow looks like.I made one thats around 12-15 feet tall I guess.Simple PVC frame with an old giant pumpkin head I airbrushed up a lil.Sticks for hands and draped landscape fabric on year and black plastic another.Its nuttin special.

Spookyblue is a great site. It was what originally got me started with paper mache. Before I saw that site I had never done paper mache before! I did a quick paper mache 'pumpkin rot' style how-to here if you already havn't seen it: paper mache pumpkin scarecrow
skullboy - that thing is awesome!
