Scarecrow Decorative Bottles

Fall is one of my absolute favorite times.  I love the weather, the colors, the smells, and the clothing required (in Michigan anyway).  I came across this cute little scarecrow craft that you could use to decorate your home or workplace.





The bottles you can get from anywhere that sells
bottles.  As long as they are in this
shape, this will work.  I am thinking of
experimenting with a mason jar and if I do, I will make sure to share.









I bought my scarecrow faces off Etsy and cut them from vinyl
with my Cricut machine.  You could paint
them if you do not have a die cut machine. 
I do not have the steadiest of hands so that does not always turn out
well for me.





I have done some sets with lights and some without.  I put the lights in first when using them.  I bought them from Amazon and they were a great deal.

You will then fill them as much or little as desired with the straw material. 









Then decorate them however you would like.  I chose to do burlap around the top of both with different types of ribbon wrapped around.  Some I made "hair" hang down and others I gave bow ties.  This is where you can completely personalize them.  The ones with the lights I just tucked them in the burlap with the on and off switch easily available.





I made them in sets of a boy and a girl but you could even create little families with different size bottles.  I plan to bring mine to work to bring the fall spirit to my desk.
