Taking care of a dacha, a garden or a vegetable garden is an occupation that requires a lot of effort and trouble. Having spent a lot of time to achieve the desired result, no gardener wants to say goodbye to a precious harvest due to uncontrolled bird raids. To protect the fruits of their labor from hungry feathered pests, the owners often install on their plots colorful dolls the height of human height - scarecrows (or stuffed animals), designed to once and for all discourage birds from approaching incredibly tasty beds. Of course, such "watchmen" will not completely protect the garden, and especially courageous winged thieves will be able to freely feed in the garden further, but stuffed animals nevertheless bring certain benefits, scaring off most of the voracious birds.

To make the scarecrow scary for the birds and useful for the owners, it is best to make it:

  • Noisy. Bells, empty cans, bottles, metal parts and other trinkets - all this, ringing in all directions in windy weather, scares the birds, preventing them from even getting close to the garden.
  • Big. The bulky and imposing figure sometimes looks intimidating even for people, not to mention the birds.
  • Human-like. Birds, no matter how impudent and brave they sometimes seem, have retained the makings of a self-preservation instinct and will not meddle in the garden where the owner is walking. The feathered humanoid stuffed animal may well be mistaken for the owner.
  • Movable. Garments fluttering in the wind will create the impression of a moving figure, even more like the owner or mistress of the garden.
  • Nice for the owners themselves. After all, besides the protection, the scarecrow also serves as a decoration, and sometimes such "crafts" very organically fit into the country landscape.

So, in the name of preserving the harvest, a responsible summer resident decided to make a terrible scarecrow from scrap materials, but does not know how to do it? Not that difficult, really.

There are many options for making stuffed animals, but most of them consist of the same simple parts, such as: frame, head, torso, limbs and clothing.

Frame

More often the frame is made of two thick and even sticks of different lengths, securing them with a long nail crosswise. You can also use shovel cuttings instead of sticks - they are perfect both in shape and length, and in strength.

You can also tie the details of the frame with an ordinary rope. - such a mount, despite its apparent simplicity, is no less reliable and durable.

You can also use boards: such a frame will be much easier to manufacture, but much more difficult to install - this point is also important to consider.

And finally you can make a metal frame, by welding a few parts suitable size and shapes. This method is perhaps the most reliable and durable, but at the same time the most difficult to manufacture. This method was to the liking of the authors of the "Garden and Vegetable Garden" channel.

Head

You can also use completely different materials to make the head.

The most common variant is the rag head. To make it, you need a piece of fabric, a needle, thread, a few hours of patience and a little imagination.

To make a stuffed rag head, you need to cut two pieces of fabric of the appropriate shape, having previously outlined the shape of the face, the position of the eyes, nose and mouth.

Then you need to sew two pieces of fabric together, fill the resulting bag with straw (pillows and soft toys are stuffed in the same way), embroider a mouth, sew on eyes-buttons and hair from a thick woolen thread. The nose and ears are best crafted from material of the same color as the face for more believability.

If you are reluctant to bother with making a head, you can go the simplest way, using an ordinary bag or a plastic bag, again filled with straw, as a head. On top of it, you can pull on old tights or a pillowcase, as well as sew on eyes, mouth and in general whatever your heart desires.

You can also use a large empty bottle as a head.

A pot is also great for making a head.

Some gardeners suggest not to worry about creating a face for a scarecrow, using an ordinary photo - a clipping from a magazine.

If you want to create something special. bright and unusual, you can give free rein to imagination and use as a head, for example, a pumpkin... Such a scarecrow will not only be a garden watchman, but also an excellent decoration in the style of Halloween horror movies.

You can show your imagination and turn an ordinary craft into a work of art.

Torso

The body of the scarecrow is most often made not so much to scare away birds as to make it look like a person and turn the scarecrow into a pretty decoration.

It can be made in the same way as the head - from a bag full of straw.

Another popular option is to sheathe a wooden frame with padding polyester. The scarecrow turns out to be "voluminous" and even more like a person.

You can also use a large bottle or tank to create a torso.

Interesting point: when creating a stuffed animal, consisting entirely of one plastic bottles, you don't need to use a framework at all. It is enough to make holes in the bottles and tie them together with an elastic band or wire. Such a scarecrow will not be the most durable, but loud enough and very original.

Arms and legs

These details are created solely at the whim of the owners - practice shows that the scarecrow does just fine without them.

The easiest way to create hands is to wear gloves stuffed with straw or padding polyester at the ends of a short pole. Feet can be treated in a similar manner by attaching socks or shoes to the trousers or skirt of the stuffed animal.

The most plausible arms and legs for the stuffed animal were suggested by the authors of the Garden and Vegetable Garden channel. In their video tutorial, they advise using small plastic bottles to create the legs and shoulders, and a large amount of plastic for the hands and feet. We advise you to watch the video, which explains how to make a scarecrow with your own hands for the garden and vegetable garden.

Clothes and accessories

Perhaps, it is at this stage, when dressing and dressing up a scarecrow, you can show the greatest creative approach. Of course, there is nothing easier than getting out of the dusty attic spaces old shabby things that no one has worn for a long time and put them on the frame. However, thanks to the efforts of creative gardeners, ordinary garden guards turn into real fairy-tale characters and acquire the most original look.

Summing up, it is safe to say that the scarecrow is an integral part of any garden, vegetable garden or suburban area.

It not only helps to save a valuable crop from feathered pests, but also serves as an excellent addition to the country landscape and simply a charming decoration.

While waiting for the harvest, after planting work, the owners of personal plots should take care of its safety. Quite often, in the absence of legal owners, vegetable gardens and orchards are visited by feathered "pests" who immediately arrange a feast. Therefore, many resort to the help of the "garden defender" - the garden scarecrow.

Why put a scarecrow in the garden?

There are many methods of dealing with feathered guests, but the most harmless and environmentally friendly - is to install a scarecrow in the garden.

Now it is difficult to say who was the very first who put the frame in the garden, and then put unnecessary clothes on it. It is believed that this tradition has a connection with paganism, when people needed to scare away or appease evil spirits.

Over time, the look of the scarecrow has undergone significant changes. Currently, the garden "guard" serves not only to scare away feathered guests, animals, but is also the subject of decoration of the personal plot.

Even if the pursued goal is to save the harvest from the winged guests, the created scarecrow can become a real decoration garden plot... In every house there are necessary materialsthat will be required to produce a garden protector.

Do-it-yourself garden scarecrow:

Since ancient times, to protect the crop from feathered raiders, gardeners have placed scarecrows on the site. In the XXI century, this tradition not only did not disappear, but also developed: the scarecrows became more fashionable and attractive.

Making a garden scarecrow

A garden scarecrow that settled in the garden or in the garden to protect the ripening crop can be made, as in the famous song, "from what was." But it is very important that it not only cope with the task of scaring away birds, but also decorate the place on the site where it was registered for residence.

The scarecrow should be not only functional, but also attractive

Preparation of materials and tools

There are many options for creating a garden scarecrow, but the principle of operation is the same: clothes are put on a wooden frame made of intersecting poles and a head is attached. The rest is the details that make each scarecrow unique.

The principle of creating a scarecrow is very simple.

Frame

The frame can be made from two slats, boards and even sticks of suitable size, which are crossed at any desired angle and fastened with screws.

A simple version of the frame for the scarecrow: wooden hangers attached to the rail

Head

Any more or less spherical object is suitable for the head of a scarecrow:


You can create beautiful curls on the scarecrow's head from old magnetic tape. Such a hairstyle, among other things, will also sparkle in the sun and rustle in the wind.

Magnetic tape curls have additional deterrent properties: rustle and shine

Hands, feet and clothes

To create a scarecrow of the hand, you can fill gloves with voluminous material (padding polyester, cotton wool, straw) and fix them on a transverse pole. To create legs on a vertical pole, trousers, shorts, etc. filled with a suitable bulky material are also attached under the clothes and suitable old shoes are fixed on them.

To make your scarecrow pleasing to the eye, you should not dress it casually and pick up some torn clothes for it that no one needs. Dress it up brightly, with charm, then it will not only scare away birds, but also decorate your site and delight the eye.

Dressed up cute scarecrow can decorate the site

Complementing the look with accessories will depend on your overall design. The scarecrow can be decorated with:


It is believed that birds are especially suspicious blue color, so it makes sense to add a scarecrow to the costume that was made in blue.

A scarecrow dressed in a blue suit will scare away birds more reliably

So that in the future you can quickly protect a new gardener from rain, you should immediately prepare a large plastic bag or even an umbrella.

To protect from rain, you need to prepare an umbrella or immediately dress up a scarecrow in a raincoat

If it suddenly turns out that your scarecrow, instead of scaring off the birds, began to play the role of a convenient airfield, you will have to change the design and move it to another place. Therefore, it is better to have not one scarecrow, but at least a couple to periodically change their places.

Straw stuffed animal master class

First, let's prepare the following materials and tools:

  • two cuttings for a rake or two even sticks (from hazel or aspen);
  • a couple of screws and a screwdriver;
  • a bag of dry straw or hay;
  • synthetic twine;
  • scissors;
  • headdress (preferably a hat);
  • black marker;
  • thick wire for attaching a hat;
  • wide shirt, trousers or breeches.

The sequence of operations is as follows:

  1. The first step is to tackle the framework. To do this, connect the two prepared strips with screws. It is better to sharpen the lower end of the vertical strip immediately so that later it will more easily enter the ground.

    Reiki for the future scarecrow is fastened with screws

  2. Add some volume to the body using straw. To do this, we twist a straw bundle, intertwining it with twine, and fix it on a vertical rail. We also form the volume for future hands on the transverse rail.

    Two bundles of straw will add volume to the future scarecrow

  3. Form the head of the scarecrow. To do this, fill a bag with straw and synthetic filler white, we fix the resulting head on a vertical rail.

    The head can be made from a bag or pillowcase in white

  4. Create the scarecrow's face. Eyes, nose, mouth can be made from pieces of leather or fabric of the appropriate color, eyebrows, eyelashes can be glued.

    The scarecrow's face doesn't have to have a frightening expression.

  5. We put on a wide-brimmed hat on the head of the scarecrow and fasten it with a wire.

    A straw hat will add a human-like look to the scarecrow

  6. We dress the scarecrow in a shirt and pants. Preference should be given to blue.

    We also stuff the pants with straw and attach them with twine to the shirt

  7. Decorate the scarecrow by adding scarecrow accessories. To prevent the scarecrow from being static, you can attach fluttering and rustling elements on the hat, sleeves, belt:
    • beads from bottle caps;
    • canned food cans fastened in pairs;
    • belt from CDs.

    A belt made of CDs adds charm and sparkle to the scarecrow

Master class on creating a scarecrow of a crow Karkusha

Often, to scare away jackdaws in the garden, a killed bird is hung on a pole. We will not do this, but try to create a scarecrow in the shape of Karkusha's crow. Perhaps she will cope with scaring away feathered robbers.

A scarecrow in the form of a crow will help expel other birds

  • black children's shorts / breeches;
  • black and yellow knee-highs;
  • black nylon stocking;

Sequence of operations:

  1. For the frame, we take two poles 1.5 and 0.5 m long, connect them together.
  2. We cut out a square with a side of 50 cm from black fabric, make a hole for the head in its middle, and cut the edges into strips 5 cm long.
  3. We bend the resulting part in half so that both the front and the back of the fabric look like a triangle, and put it on the frame.
  4. Sew the torso, and then fill it with nitron to add volume.
  5. On the "wings" hanging along the edges of the transverse bar we attach bundles of flax or tow. They will imitate feathers.
  6. We also fill the black stocking with nitron to make Karkusha's head.
  7. We cut out the eyes and beak from the foam, glue them on the head, which we fix on a vertical rail.
  8. At a height of one and a half meters, we fix willow twigs horizontally, on which Karkusha will comfortably "sit".
  9. We put the knee-highs and pants stuffed with nitron together and sew to the rods.
  10. We cut out the paws for Karkusha from the foam and glue them to the golfs.
  11. On the rods you can hang fixed on the twine cansthat will ring in the wind.

Garden Scarecrow Options

Ideas for creating exclusive options for a garden scarecrow are endless. You can choose some of these options to create your stuffed animal, but it is better to use them for inspiration and come up with something of your own.

Video: ideas for creating creative "guards" for the ripening crop

It is very easy to create a scarecrow for your garden, so you can show your imagination and make it unique, working according to your own "templates". And let it be as it is said in these lines: "... our scarecrow is no longer a scarecrow, not a doll and not a disguise, but a faithful, good friend!"

At the very least, today the garden scarecrow remains one of the most effective, albeit short-term, means of protection against annoying birds that threaten the harvest. Honestly, for a scarecrow to actually "work", it must also rumble and move in the wind. However, the decorative effect is also worth something. If you do not want to be considered clumsy, create a protector of the harvest yourself. In this article, you will find a description of the main parts and step by step instructions on creating a scarecrow for a summer residence, as well as many ideas and photos of how you can make an unusual garden scarecrow with your own hands.

As a rule, a garden scarecrow performs 2 functions or roles at once:

  • scaring away birds;
  • decoration for the garden area.

Indeed, if you want to have a well-groomed garden that is not spoiled by feathered pests, let your garden scarecrow fear only the birds, but not your neighbors. Therefore, in any case, it should complement, "revive" and decorate the site, or rather be terribly unpleasant, scary for birds and unusual for people. Although a garden scarecrow most often looks rather untidy, rags are not at all a mandatory attribute in the fight against very cunning garden pests.

In short, the garden scarecrow really should be a real decoration of your summer cottage, and it doesn't matter if you need to protect the crop. And in fact, why not make it just like that - for beauty and giving more aesthetics to your garden area.

One way or another, in order for a garden scarecrow to really scare away birds, it should look in a certain way:

  • its size should correspond to human;
  • appearance should be bright and noticeable;
  • it should stand near the protected area.

How to make a garden scarecrow with your own hands

Usually any garden scarecrow is made on the basis of the following components:

  • frame (or torso);
  • head;
  • arms and legs;
  • clothing and other accessories.

Frame

You can make it both metal and wood.

A wooden frame, as a rule, is made of two fairly thick boards of different lengths (or 2 shafts for shovels are taken). They are fixed crosswise, driving in a nail in the middle (or better, two, so that the hands of the stuffed animal do not bend and stagger).

Boards (or cuttings) can also be secured with an ordinary rope and a special knot. Such a fastening is no less reliable than a driven nail.

The future torso of a garden monster can be made with the help of the same 1 handle from a shovel, attaching a hanger instead of hands.

For more information on how to make a monster in the garden on such a frame, see the next step-by-step master class.

Video: how to make a scarecrow on a wooden-frame hanger

For the manufacture of metal frame you, of course, need more time and also welding skills, or you have to ask a neighbor for the service or find a professional welder.

Head

You can make the head of a garden scarecrow from various materials in many different ways.

For example, you can sew a head from two pieces of fabric, stuffing it with straw or some other sealant. Or take a regular cloth bag and stuff it with something to shape.

And then embroider eyes, nose, mouth on the face and sew on the ears.

Although you can also paint or wear mask.

The most common will do. 5 liter bottle.

It's not a sin to make the head of a garden monster out of garden pot, securely attaching it to the frame.

Often the stuffed animal is made completely hay, including his head.

You can use the old head as a head doll head or the head of a person who worked mannequin.

Or you can not make a scarecrow face, but simply use high hat, but giving it some form, in other words, stuffing it, is all the same with what you have to.

Or just throw on the frame straw hat.

Arms and legs

If you want the garden scarecrow to be as human-like as possible, then you need to give it clear outlines of legs and arms.

It is very easy to create the arms of a garden scarecrow: you just need to put on the ends of the frame gloves and stuff them with something, for example, all the same straw.

The legs of the scarecrow are made in the same way: pants noticeable from afar, a bright dress or skirt are put on the frame, and a well-visible footwear (for example, rubber boots or galoshes).

Clothing and other accessories

How elegantly you dress your garden scarecrow will determine its aesthetic appearance and, possibly, fate.

Headdress

The most typical stuffed headgear is hat.

However, the style and material of the hat may also vary.

It may even be hat with ear flaps.

You can put on your scarecrow grandma kerchief.

It is not necessary to completely cover your head with a hat, this may be sufficient symbolic and decorative headdress.

Accessories

It will not be trivial to put into the hands of a garden scarecrow badminton racket.

And it is also in your power to create a whole composition: as if a girl is carrying on the yokebucket with waterI just picked up in the well.

It will not be superfluous to give a stroller-flower bed in the hands of a stuffed animal.

Step-by-step instructions for creating a garden scarecrow

  • 3 shafts from shovels (or strong and thick boards) of different lengths (one for the body - long, for the arms - a little shorter, for the legs - even shorter);
  • 2 (or 4) nails and a hammer;
  • head (bag full of straw);
  • clothing and other accessories.

  2. Anchor it securely in the ground.
  3. Attach the previously made head and put on the hat.
  4. Wear a shirt and pants or a dress (skirt) on your torso, depending on your gender.

Birds are often annoying to gardeners by running on the roof and leaving spots on it, eating berries in the beds, etc. The author of the video made the simplest scarecrow for the garden from tin. Having the contours of a bird of prey and making oscillatory movements under the breezes of the wind, this repeller imitates the active actions of a predator. You can whip up this “bird” with a minimum of material and tools.

Making a tin scarecrow is simple. A metal rod or a piece of pipe with a closed and flat, even upper end is stuck into the ground. A bird is cut along the contour and bent so that the beak protrudes, and when installed on the rod, it creates an equilibrium state of the entire structure.

The design is quite elegant and can even serve as a garden decoration.
Unfortunately, the video is not very clear.
Modern birds are little afraid of technology and people, especially the usual scarecrow and moving sparkling objects. But they are afraid of their wild relatives. The device is designed to effectively scare away birds in garden plots, imitates a full-fledged bird of prey. It is in motion continuously in any weather, even in calm weather. Can be fitted with wobble LED blinking eyes. It is able to scare away not only birds, but also animals due to movement, vibrations, sparkle of eyes, rustling of covering material, illusion of flight of a bird of prey. Assembled in 15 minutes at home. You can give any shape of the wings by bending the wire of the frame; for the eyes, you can use candy foil. The polyethylene for the wings can be of any colors and patterns, it does not stretch too much on the scarecrow frame. The more colorful the scarecrow, the livelier it looks. It can scare away not only birds, but also any living creatures.
Serves not only as a watchman, but also decorates the garden. Does not require material costs.

Scarecrow bird scarer Peregrine Falcon 3

Usually on the network they talk about bird scarers in theory, but I decided to show how the device works in practice. And he wanted to show the work of the repeller on crows and starlings, since it is these birds that do the most harm by destroying fruits and berries.

The layout is fixed on the 4th floor on the loggia.
