You Autumn Love These Upcycled Scarecrows

Scarecrows made from recycled materials that are not scarey at all!

Scarecrows go as far back as the Egyptians.  Originally used to frighten away hungry quail along the Nile. Farmers have been using them to deter local birds from eating their crops ever since.

Drive around the USA in the Fall and you will see scarecrows adorning yards and gardens galore!  It's one way to save Earth while protecting it with these unique and imaginitive creatures of decor. Made from a myriad of recycled materials, these colorful protectors are a delight to see everywhere you go.

Why not scare up some recycled materials, outdated clothing, or natural objects and DIY one for your yard this Fall, too!

We have collected a lot of unscarey scarecrow ideas to inspire you:

Think Inside The Box To Make A Costume

It's time for costumes and what could be easier than making one with a simple box?

We found some really great ideas out there using discarded boxes. It's a great way to practice the "R's", recycle and reuse.

Here are our picks:

The Hot Air Balloon.  You can also make one with a single helium balloon. ( A Large balloon for a kid, a weather balloon for an adult)

Houses of any kind! Play House, Bird House, Dog House, Your House! 

The I pod, why not an Ipad, TV, Radio, Computer? 

The Lego.  There are loads of variations on this.  Use large bottle caps instead of cups, a large plastic container painted yellow to be a Lego People. 

Robots. You can use a slew of recycled materials for this one.  Bottle caps, cups, cans, etc. 

The Vehicle Costume.  You can be any of the following: School Buses, truck, car, plane, race car, etc. For a school bus carry a lunch bag!

Your favorite product!  I love the crayon box.  But you can also be a toy, a cereal, a juice box, your favorite food package.

Rubics Cube.  This one is for two.  You can make a single one person cube also.

Clever and timely, too!  A Ballot Box. Do this election or a past historical one...why not run yourself!

Love these ideas, too.  Great tutorial!
