This sweet Scarecrow for Fall is a warm inviting greeter for your front door.
I just love this scarecrow. While it can only be used on covered exterior doors, it can also be used for interior doors and mantles. Yarn wreaths are some of my favorites. They are fluffy and warm and provide great texture for your space. These wreaths are a great way to get kids involved in creating holiday decorations. My littlest one has helped with wrapping yarn around the form. The older kids can help with some of the gluing, adding zip ties and tying on the twine for a hanger.
