Burlap Scarecrow for Your Garden

Scarecrows were originally used on farms to keep birds away from the crops and from eating plants in gardens. Even if you're not having bird problems, these makeshift men are great decorations in your garden. 

Follow just ten easy steps to put together your own scarecrow to keep pesky birds away and add another friendly face to your garden.
