Now we go to the crafts. Of course, given the Covid 19 virus and the lack of quality federal leadership, this 4th of July will be a rather disappointing one for many. After all, it’s summer and you can’t go to any beaches, bars, or restaurants. So you might as well stay home and watch Hamilton on Disney + which is what I’m planning to do anyway. Still, at least you can decorate your house in star-spangled red, white, and blue to show your patriotism. Also, vote for Joe Biden in November but that’s another story.

7e2a5fe2acf2b4c9c84e836e38653570

During October, it’s not unusual for people to make their homes into a haunted house. Fortunately, plenty of retail stores have been willing to oblige since September. There’s even a store called Spirit Halloween, which is having its biggest season right now. After all, Halloween is a major cash cow holiday since it has so many fans. After all, unlike a lot of big holidays,you don’t have any obligation to spend Halloween with your family. Unless your children require adult supervision. Anyway, while most people prefer to buy their Halloween decorations, others may make their own. So for your reading pleasure, I give you another assortment of spooky Halloween crafts. Enjoy.

Doilies are great for spider webs.

They’re stretched on rings and have plastic spiders on them. Not sure if you can use them for coasters.

Well, this frame also has large plastic spiders on, too. Great for freaking out the arachnophobe in your life.

3. Your spider wreath can use a little bling.

It’s mostly covered in buttons. Recommended to hang on any front door of a haunted house.

4. A blinged skull is essential for any haunted home.

Though I wouldn’t recommend reciting Shakespeare with this one. Alas, poor Yorick, I knew him well….”

5. Don’t mind the mummy at the front door.

It comes well wrapped. Then again, considering the cobwebs, you’d almost think it’s a cocoon.

All of these potions are made from the finest ingredients from Chernobyl. Don’t ask how they got them.

12. I believe the house is “Witch Way.”

Will you find witches inside? Or just people giving candy to kids? Only enter if you dare.

13. A porcelain jack-o’-lantern can always use a stand.

This one has the pumpkin on a wreath of fall foliage. Makes a great centerpiece.

14. A bauble and feather wreath will certainly make your Halloween a festive occasion.

Even includes shiny jack-o’-lanterns. Just hang it on a wall or doorway with cautions. Because baubles are very delicate things.

15. That Halloween table can really use a spider web.

This is made out of black tinsel garland you can get at a party store. Great for any Halloween party.

16. You’ll get a good scare out of this sign.

17. Even the trees can be quite monstrous.

This is just a small tree with multiple eyes. And they can see everywhere.

25. Don’t let your trick-or-treaters go out without these bags.

They’re treat bags with jack-o’-lanterns on them. One is scary black. The other is a chilly white.

26. You won’t have bad luck with this black cat wreath.

It’s fuzzy with whiskers and a nose. But at least it’s not as scary as the Cats trailer.

27. This sign will leave you screaming.

It’s just a large, striped, panel that says, “EEK!” In purple letters with orange dots. Or are those lights?

28. Beware of what you drink from these bottles.

They’re bottles spray-painted black and have labels on them. Good for display purposes only.

29. Hope you don’t piss off the owls.

Includes a silver spider ring and a spider charm bracelet. Bracelet even includes a skeleton key.

Yep, she flew right into the wall on her broomstick. Sometimes those covens can get pretty wild.

44. Perhaps you might fancy a decoupage witch’s hat.

I don’t think it’s meant for wearing though. Still, has a cobweb on the brim.

45. These candy trees are infested.

You don’t see as many candy decor on Halloween as you do on Christmas. Save the case for candy corn but that’s just sugar wax not fit for human consumption.

46. Hope these glowing hands don’t snatch you during the night.

Not sure what these are supposed to be made of. Butt seeing floating and glowing hands around will scare the crap out of me.

47. Perhaps anyone into vintage stuff might appreciate this scary wreath.

This looks like it’s in tatters. Then again, being Halloween, that’s kind of the point.

48. How about a witch’s hat on a hat box?

So did the witch’s hat came from the hat box? If not, then what’s in it? Please don’t let it be like in Seven.

49. Don’t drink from a bottle under wraps.

Because the wine could be poisoned for all I know. Might contain a tablespoon of arsenic, a teaspoon of strychnine, and just a pinch of cyanide.

50. A steampunk pumpkin can use a few nuts and bolts.

After all, steampunk is all about the 19th century mecha gear. Though I doubt people at the time would do their pumpkins this way.

51. You can make frightful candle holders with wine glasses.

52. Perhaps a simple paper wreath will do this Halloween.

This looks like it was made as a large, black origami flower. Perfect for any haunted front door this Halloween.

53. This witch looks rather potted today.

That’s because she’s made out of flower pots of different sizes. Comes with a broomstick and black cat, too.

I’m sure this little guy’s light is scarier at night. But at least his methods are sustainable.

This person took a green one and made a witch out of it. And they only had to paint the top green for the hat.

64. Nobody can resist a witch in a candy dress.

She’s even green with red hair. Though she’s more cute than scary.

65. Want some spiders on your china?

Well, the spiders are painted on the plates. Guaranteed to scare guests when hung on the wall.

66. Seems like we have a few monsters lurking in the bushes.

Then again, maybe the bushes have eyes. Or someone just stuck eyes on them.

67. This house really has a severe rat problem.

Okay, they’re just rat silhouettes. So don’t call the exterminator just yet.

68. Milk bottle candle holders should always come a bit bloody.

Man, the red paint looks like it’s oozing from the top. Perfect for any Halloween party.

69. Don’t like wreaths? Hang up a tombstone.

They even have twisted weeds growing on it. Perfect for any Halloween front door.

70. Something’s creaking out of that coffin.

I don’t think that chain’s going to cut it. He could burst out at any moment.

71. Keep your things close this Halloween with a pumpkin purse.

Consists of a plastic pumpkin with a sparkly handle. Decorated with a jingly cat mask.

72. Keep your things safe in this blinged out coffin box.

Has jewels deck the top. Small enough for a table. Great for hamster funerals.

73. Sometimes a simple metal cauldron is all you need.

Wonder if they use cauldrons like this at Hogwarts. There’s even a fake fire underneath.

74. Impress your Halloween party guests this year with a mounted Cthulu.

Brag how you vanquished the Lovecraftian monster into the depths of oblivion. Of course, they’ll think you’re talking shit, which you are.

75. I’m sure you don’t want to be caged alongside a rat.

Well, they’re skeletons in cages. The skeleton rat even has cheese to eat.

76. You’ll find a few birds on this bonsai tree.

This even has orange woven baskets on the branches. Also decorated in cobwebs.

77. Make sure to give your haunted home a spooky entrance.

The front entrance has toilet paper like mummy wraps. Also give a spooky touch with chains and lanterns.

78. These candles have melted significantly.

Okay, the candles are fake. And so are the flames. So they’re perfectly safe.

79. There are snakes slithering on the black dowels.

Or are those candlesticks? Either way, the snakes are plastic.

80. A tree is composed of many pumpkins.

The tree is painted on the pumpkins. And they’re held on by a bookshelf.

81. Count down to Halloween with this panel.

This was obviously erected in September. Since it says “32 days until trick or treating.”

82. Wonder what’s in this big creepy book.

It’s actually a box. And yes, it has a spider’s web on top. So you can hide your bloody knife in it.

83. A wicked candle holder can use some black lace.

Since it really brings out a haunted house look. Don’t forget to include spiders.

Includes one of a boy, a girl, and a dog. Each is surrounded by a black lace frame.

87. A witch’s hat can use some more flair.

They’re on stands with black tulle and flowers. But they’re not meant for wearing. So they’re just decorative.

88. Someone’s pet is all bone and crazy red eyes.

Is this supposed to be a dog? Then again, you can’t tell by just the skeleton. Unless you’re a zoologist.

89. If you need some grease, this happy jack is all you need.

It’s just an oil can with a jack-o’-lantern. But I don’t think it contains real oil.

This is a little scene with gourds and little hay bales. Even has a little black cat.

91. You’ll find plenty of crows on this centerpiece.

They’re on top of a glass and black flowers. There’s even a haunted house inside.

92. Stash your poisons in this potion box.

It’s just a craft box. Though I love how they painted it.

93. That witch should watch out for that Halloween tree.

Well, she went in head first. Though the tree is quite dazzling.

94. You’ll find the snakes under the rug.

Relax, they’re just plastic. But tell that to Dr. Henry “Indiana” Jones Jr.

95. Care to use a potion tray?

What’s in these bottles almost seems all too real. Yet, please don’t eat any of the contents.

96. This gate must be a prime crow hangout spot.

Okay, these are fake. But it certainly gives you a chill up your spine.

97. A candy corn bouquet might suit your tastes.

Includes 2 crows. While most of the foliage looks quite dead.

This one is made out of metal and includes lights. Also, the bird is fake. Not sure if it says, “Nevermore.”

They don’t seem to have the proper equipment to climb the roof. So they help each other to varying degrees of success.

100. This witchy wreath should have some flowers.

Includes witch boots and hat. Not to mention, might contain a pumpkin or two.

The Wonderful World of Scarecrows (Fifth Edition)

Posted by historymaniacmegan on September 14, 2019

untitled2

Sorry that I haven’t done any new posts for three weeks. Since I’ve been working on a project that took me about four weeks to complete. Anyway, given that fall’s coming up, you’re bound to see scarecrows everywhere. After all, fall is usually a time of harvest. Despite that critters can get into the crops all year long. Still, scarecrows were originally erected to scare them off at a time when most pesticides didn’t exist. Nonetheless, they’re usually made out of straw, wooden stakes, and old clothes. Yet, many communities can also hold scarecrow contests showing all the unique straw figures out there. So for your reading pleasure, I give you another assortment of unique scarecrows. Enjoy.

These scarecrows will check your speed.

Don’t worry, you’re good. But if you go like a race car driver, they will mark you down and give you a ticket.

2. Don’t mind these three old men.

They’re just hanging around in their suits. A couple even read the paper.

3. It’s always fun and games with the Cat in the Hat.

Though don’t see the Mike Myers adaptation. Still, this is a fair rendition for a scarecrow festival. Sure will make Dr. Seuss proud.

4. The giant crow’s got the last laugh.

You can see this crow’s made out of trash bags. And yes, I think it could scare off any critters. Since it’s a giant freaking bird.

5. This scary scarecrow has a sensitive side.

Sure, he might kill a bunch of misbehaving teenagers on a dark night. But he likes hanging out with the birds.

6. You won’t get anywhere rowing on dry land.

Well, they’re supposed to be fishing. Still, like their boat name Crow-2.

7. These old folks get by on wheelbarrow.

Since they’re homeless and their car’s been repossessed. Still, these are delightful.

8. Bet you’ve never met the scarecrow Boy Who Lived.

I’ve put a Harry Potter scarecrow before. Yet, this one at least gives him darker hair.

9. They’re off to see the wizard. The wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Wizard of Oz seems to be a common motif in scarecrow festivals. Maybe it’s the Scarecrow. This display includes the Wicked Witch of the West though.

10. Uncle Sam does it the American way.

Yet, he somehow decided to shave before getting atop of his high horse. Still, please don’t mention anything about Cheeto Fascist.

11. This scarecrow is practically perfect in every way.

Since she’s Mary Poppins, y’all. And I don’t mean Yondo from Guardians of the Galaxy either.

12. Curious George always drives the Man in the Yellow Hat crazy.

Since he’s a curious little monkey who shouldn’t be kept as a pet. No wonder he starts a lot of trouble.

13. This scarecrow girl has a green thumb.

After all, he wears his raincoat and galoshes. So he’s all set for the fishing boat.

16. Behold, the mad tangerine commissar himself.

Here he stands on a podium to spew some disparaging remarks about protestors, minorities, the news media, the law enforcement agencies investigating him, political enemies, and immigrants. The Cheeto-Fascist wreaks devastation onto America he certainly won’t make great again. Because he’s a sociopath.

17. “Help me, Obi Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope.

Funny how they use an old vacuum cleaner as R2-D2. Though I think he’s supposed to be bigger. Like enough for a dwarf to fit inside him.

Here she stands with her butterfly mask. Wait, I don’t remember her wearing such a thing.

Like boarding over a box of apples like this guy. Yeah, you’ve probably never heard of it before.

Well, it’s covered in burlap. But the straw’s inside. Still, better not throw a bone at it.

He’s between corn and sunflowers. Has nothing to do with the restaurant, however.

24. You’d think this lady was crazy about her cats.

Well, I have put up a Waldo scarecrow before. Yet, this one comes with a walking stick and solar powered binoculars.

27. This frog loves to hang out near the pond.

He’s a frog prince who will find your ball if you drop it in a well. So if you kiss or have sex with him, he’ll turn human again.

He knows how to connect the circuits. Though if he gets an electric shock, he burns.

He stands next to an American flag wreath. But remember, he’s carrying a pair of handcuffs on him.

36. This scarecrow is an absolute genius.

Belbroughton-Scarecrows-Birmingham-Events-Essential-Marketer20150927-C5D_7879-700x467

He’s supposed to be Albert Einstein. You see, scarecrows have brains after all.

37. Hope this monster doesn’t scare your child.

He’s actually Sully from Monsters Inc. Sure he scares children. But outside his work, he’s sweet guy. Just ask Boo.

38. This large straw dragon will scare the crows away.

Some Game of Thrones fans must have too much time on their hands. Still, that’s excellent work on this scarecrow.

He’s Scottish since he’s wearing a kilt. And yes, he’s a World War I veteran.

40. I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Potatohead.

These two are made from haybales and shoes. And I’m not telling you what “mashed” means in potato talk. Since it’s not something you’d want your kids to know about.

41. Anyone would adore this scarecrow family.

This family is from Japan. Like the kids’ little outfits. So cute.

That purple dress seems a bit too formal for a garden. Also, that’s not how you hold a baby.

This is David Crowie during his Ziggy Scaredust years. Even has his pumpkin head painted.

46. You’ll be safe on this boat with him.

At least he makes a handy flotation device. Still, the sailors built this guy. Yet, he kind of creeps me out.

47. A small family can always fit on one bike.

It’s a bicycle built for 2 with a baby seat. Yet, no one’s wearing a helmet.

48. Hulk, smash!

This one has Hulk hands. But he’s certainly not smashing any windows. Or anything else.

49. Vincent Van Crow seeks inspiration in the field.

He’s got his paint stuff on his chair along with a couple of sunflowers. Too bad he died at 37.

This scarecrow’s dressed as a maid. Though I don’t think the tights go with that outfit.

Here Meyrl lounges with a tabloid magazine in her beach chair. Though she seems awfully bundled up. Then again, she might be in New England.

55. “I am the Lorax. I speak for the Trees.”

And if you don’t stop cutting down Truffula Trees, the whole ecosystem will go to shit. Too bad the Oncler didn’t listen.

56. Care to meet Peter Rabbit?

He’s even posing with carrots. Guess they’re from Mr. MacGregor’s garden.

57. Thought Santa Claus traveled by sleigh.

This one has Santa traveling by bike. Wonder who he’s talking to.

58. Man, Japanese school girls are vicious.

Here you have her with a bunch of severed heads. I’d stay out of this field if I were you.

59. “Oh I’ve had the time of my life/And I’ve never felt this way before.”

Yes, this is a scarecrow take off of Dirty Dancing. And it’s brilliant. Like how the girl has a skull head.

60. This witch better watch where she’s going.

Since she’s just run into a freaking telephone pole. Though who knows whether she was under the influence of some potion.

That’s Raggedy Ann and Andy. And yes, they dress in similar outfits. So cute.

It’s made from a pipe. But he’s supposed to be some Swiss guy in the Alps.

He’s the tree guy from Guardians of the Galaxy. Yes, he’s a beast. But as a baby, he’s so adorable, especially when he dances.

69. You got to admire this mermaid’s tail.

Since it’s made from a bunch of CDs. Love how they shine.
