Idea #21
Make a scarecrow for your front
porch or yard to great your trick or treaters. Surround it with a scary
or autumn scene to really make it stand out!
Stuff jeans and an old shirt with newspaper, use a stuffed mask or
plastic pumpkin for the head. Add some straw for effect. If you want to
go more horror themed, use one of the many latex scarecrow masks
that can be found. There are some very creepy ones that would look great
with this set-up!

Halloween
Scarecrow web site for lots of tip and ideas. |
