DIY halloween prop: scarecrow

[@rufferstuff9148]

Extra spooky. He would look good in any yard. Good tips on working with burlap. Thanks.

[@CarvalhoCreations]

Thanks man much appreciated 🙏

[@LJ.-ue5yj]

Fantastic creation! Exactly what I was hoping to see -- tattered burlap, rustic vibes perfect for an old west theme here in Arizona! Thank you for sharing your artistry with all of us! 😊 🌵

[@CarvalhoCreations]

Right on, I'm so happy you enjoyed it. I really like this type of vibe for a scarecrow so I'm glad it reads well. It's my pleasure! Thanks for watching!

Very good scarecrow build. I especially like how the hat turned out. I want to see a video of you making a squating Gargoyle with removable wings for attic storage in the off-season. Thanks!

[@CarvalhoCreations]

Thank you brotha much appreciated 🙏 yes I have it on the list. I have a few projects ahead of this request but I'll definitely get to it. Thanks for watching

Incredible work as always 😍😍

[@CarvalhoCreations]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@terrymcdade1888]

I've started watching all your videos. I have skeletons and animatronics from several businesses. I've built two simple ones to start with, and that is quite a learning curve believe me. But I want to build the other props to go with them. This is where your videos are perfect for that. I already have two items to overhaul, modify and repair to learn on. Time to go back and watch more videos.

[@CarvalhoCreations]

Right on and welcome!! I love reusing old props and bringing them back to life. Half your work is already finished and then you get to make it look even better than it originally was! Thanks so much for watching and good luck 👍

[@its_o9ine613]

looks sick! reminds me a lot of the 3rd scarecrow redesign from BTAS

[@CarvalhoCreations]

Oh man I see it now haha 😄 thank you!

[@YvonneDamen]

Yes, I was waiting for this build. I have a farmhouse built and I want another scarecrow. He's exactly what I'm looking for. Thank you for this beautiful video🎃

[@CarvalhoCreations]

I know it took me awhile to get this one out but I'm happy you enjoyed it. I wanted a creepy authentic scarecrow and here he is 😄 my pleasure thanks for watching!

Very nice work and camera angles and explanations. I got some of my decorations outside and need a big piece!

[@lindseybotelho]

So cool

[@CarvalhoCreations]

Thank you!

[@Timetraveler1111MN]

The face you made was very good I wouldn’t have covered it in the burlap. Now if I had a big skull cheap which is how I’d do it, yet you had that nice airbrush work and those higher end quality work and eyes! Good sculpture work!

[@CarvalhoCreations]

Thank you. I get what your saying fir sure but i really wanted to get that traditional look. I've made a few more since with the faces exposed and they're awesome. Wish I could share pictures here....

Awesome scarecrow Carvalho. I have a video suggestion, I definitely would like to see one on how to use a heat gun.

[@CarvalhoCreations]

Thanks brotha 🙏 absolutely man thats a great suggestion can do!

That's right brotha!!

[@TerryWygal]

Excellent Job - as always! - and Thank You for the amazon link - anytime you wanna put a link to specific paints, the heat gun you use, where you get the Styrofoam heads - I would Gladly go through your links

[@CarvalhoCreations]

Right on brotha I'll start adding links to what I use to make these props for sure. Thanks man

[@michellereed3272]

I’ve never had much luck with scarecrows. No matter how I try to anchor them, the wind always blows them over.

[@CarvalhoCreations]

Yeah thats the tricky part. I ended up making a simple t base put of scrap wood and then weighing it down.

[@RafaelNogueras-e6j]

He reminded me of the creeper

[@CarvalhoCreations]

Yep you're right!

[@meloneeleddington7664]

He would scare the hell out of me. 100% lol

[@CarvalhoCreations]

Haha then I feel as though this prop is a success 😄

[@suesueh1]

Amazing! I’m trying to make a headless Horseman and I was going to try the pool noodle thing but I don’t have a heat gun Will a blow dryer work?

[@CarvalhoCreations]

Thank you! That's such a cool build I can't wait to try it. No a blow dryer doesn't get hot enough to melt that plastic. Harbor freight carries an inexpensive one for about $12. They don't last super long but I've had a few and they definitely work. Another option is buying them used. Hope that helps. Happy haunting!

[@justinebecker2380]

What did you use for the base? How is it standing up? And where did you find the teeth mold? Thanks 😊

[@CarvalhoCreations]

I used the large stake I showed at the beginning of the video and zipped tied it the the 2x4 base. If you search for silicone teeth mold on Amazon you see a few good options. I did sculpt over the teeth once I had them in place to make the points however.

[@justinebecker2380]

@CarvalhoCreations Oh sorry, I didn't see that part. 😆 And thanks for the tip about the teeth.

[@Eric-bq7xd]

Nice work as usually. I subbed days ago. Anyhow I have been watching the videos ,but I see here a different clay being used. What is this brand and how do you like working with it?? I purchased Jovi air dry clay per your recommendation.

[@CarvalhoCreations]

Right on and welcome! So in my older videos I started sculpting using jovi's air dry clay and honestly it's one of the best I've used. Dries super strong. The vampire head I sculpted was like rock. I use mostly foam air dry clay now because it's so lightweight. Really good stuff too but you won't get as much detail from the foam stuff. I get it from hobby lobby but there's no branding on the container. DAS air dry clay is also another great option. It has paper particles mixed in so the likelihood of it cracking is way low.
