Scarecrow Costume – How to Make a Wizard of Oz Scarecrow Costume

Had a request for a Wizard of Oz scarecrow costume tutorial.

How to Make a Wizard of Oz Scarecrow Costume

MATERIALS NEEDED:
Brown pants
Green shirt
Raffia or straw
2 buttons

Black felt
Robe or bailing twine
Scissors
Needle and thread or iron and stitch witchery
Got glue gun
Skin colored fabric
Brown paint for your nose
White gloves
“Scarecrow” boots.

Then just add a pair of gloves and some “scarecrow” looking boots and you’re good to go.
