One of the best parts of October is adorning the house with Halloween and Fall decor. Scarecrows, Pumpkins, spiderwebs, and guazy ghosts are just some of what you can find on display.
Scarecrows are a true American folk art form that adds charm and whimsy to any yard or garden. This is the only book to offer step-by-step instructions for creating scarecrows, from traditional to absolutely wild. Scarecrows includes more than 20 unique projects, plus tours through the gardens of North America's greatest scarecrow artists and tips for starting your own scarecrow festival.
