Create a Scarecrow with a Light-up Artificial Pumpkin
Scarecrows are created to scare and prevent critters from coming in the garden yet, most are not scary! If they only had a brain, they would realize their focus on scaring off and preventing is actually creating more of the very same thing. Hocus pocus focus! It's a no-brainer...as whatever you focus on with strong feelings, you will create! When you focus on what you love, you will realize you have a brain that creates the very thing you desire. Create on purpose today and make this scary pumpkin scarecrow!

Step 1
Take a plastic pumpkin and take the light out from the back.
Step 2
Spray paint the back of pumpkin with black paint and fade it in the front of pumpkin face allowing some of the orange to show through.
Step 3
Using acrylic paint, give the pumpkin more dimension with your yellow and white paint. Use black paint to draw in black lines and shade.
Step 4
Set aside pumpkin to allow it to dry.
Step 5
Take a cheap scarecrow and remove its head and legs.
Step 6
Using floral wire, bind his upper body then lower his legs and wire them to the bottom. This will give the scarecrow a skinny scarier look.

Find some sticks that look like long arms and wire them to the scarecrow's shoulders.
Step 8
Spray paint the entire body with black paint.
Step 9
Cut a hole to the side of your scarecrow's neck stick and use hot glue to seal it.
Step 10
Fold brown fabric long enough to cover his body and cut bottom into slits by cutting and ripping.

Step 12
Drape black Halloween mesh.
