A Scary
Scarecrow
 There's nothing
more scary than a pile of empty plastic pots. Why not turn them into something
to scare the birds instead of you!
I made a Super
Scarecrow for one of my gardens to keep the birds away when I want them
to stay out.
You will need:
1 medium pot
2 large pots
14 small pots
1 wire coat hanger
some rope or heavy twine
Assemble it
as close as you can to the drawing. Of course, yours' may be  larger, smaller,
taller or may not be a person at all. Once you hang it from a nearby tree
or on a tall pole you're set.
We aren't sure
if it's the action from the wind or just the sight of it that scares the
birds, but It does work!
You can make
one out of different sized clay pots and set it on a bench in your yard
for decoration. Or make an animal shape from one.
Have Fun and
Be Creative!
