How to Make a Coffee Can Scarecrow
- Put lid on coffee can. Cover coffee can with tan felt using craft glue.
- Place coffee can on its side and use instant grab glue or E6000 to pipe on the mouth. Cut twine to fit on the glue smile and press in place.
- Cut remaining twine into one-inch pieces. Use instant grab glue to attach to the smile in a stitch type fashion.
- Cut a triangle from orange felt and use instant grab glue to attach to the face above the smile.
- Use instant grab glue to attach two buttons for eyes.

- Glue the hat onto the raffia hair.
- Glue 2 silk flowers to the hat.
That’s it, you’re finished! You can display your new scarecrow on your porch or deck, as a centerpiece for your holiday table, on a shelf, side table, or fireplace mantel.
