In this tutorial, I want to show you how I made a scary DIY scarecrow mask for our annual Halloween party using burlap, jute, and raffia for an extra creepy and unique look. You can do so many different expressions and put your own spin on a scarecrow. You don’t have to go the traditional route with a floppy straw hat.
This is a bit of a messy project but overall not too difficult. Just be careful with the pinning needles.
Also check out my matching blog post with more details and photos of how I wore it with a black robe and outfit for Halloween: cuckoo4design....

Supplies, materials, and tools needed to make this scary scarecrow mask:
🎃 burlap/hessian cloth (I bought two yards because I wanted to make two masks, one yard should be enough for one mask) amzn.to/3M4FX1n
🎃 jute yarn amzn.to/3QjQjNe
