Instructions

Cowardly Lion

Scarecrow

For the hat:

  • Use a large dinner plate to trace and cut a circle from a sheet of black felt. Use a smaller bowl roughly the diameter of the wearer's head to trace and cut a circle in the center of the larger circle.
  • Cut two tall rectangles and cut the tops to a curved point from black felt. Hot glue the curved hat piece together, leaving the bottom straight edge open. Hot glue the bottom edge around the opening of the hat base.

For the cowl

  • Cut a long rectangle from tan felt, about 6”x36”. Cut small slits along the top long edge about 2 inches apart. Fringe cut the bottom outside edge of the cowl as you did with the patches to make it look frayed.
  • Thread yarn or string through the holes and pull the fabric so it bunches. Wrap around the collar and tie the string together in the back.
  • Hot glue bits of straw around the collar to give it more of a scarecrow look.

For the patches

  • Cut a square or two from tan felt and fringe cut around the edges. Attach patches to the pants and shirt with fabric tape or safety pins.
  • Use twine or rope to tie a belt around the waist, ankles, and wrists!
  • Optional: If you want to go all out, you could get some hay/straw and insert up the sleeves, pant legs, and neck to get the stuffed scarecrow look!

Dorothy

  • Accessorize with braids, red slippers, and a basket!
