How much joy brings the opportunity to have your own land, cultivate it, get a harvest from it! However, a lot of worries to summer residents, gardeners and gardeners bring uninvited guests: birds, rodents, stray dogs and cats. And there is nothing left for them to do with their own hands as a scarecrow, which will help preserve the crop that has not yet been harvested.
Scarecrow made of straw
The easiest way is to fill the bags with straw, dress the scarecrow in old clothes and fix it on a pole. It will turn out something that resembles the hero of the tale of the Emerald City - the Scarecrow. Unfortunately, such a scarecrow does not always look attractive on the site, spoils the overall impression. Therefore, some owners, thinking about how to make a scarecrow with their own hands, apply their imagination and build entire compositions from stuffed animals - such bright and attractive "scarecrow companies".
So that not only stood, but rustled ...
But birds are pretty smart creatures, especially crows. Once they’ll get scared, two, and on the third - they’ll figure out what's what. And here is the result: a stuffed animal hangs, and berries and vegetables are pecked ... It's a shame! Therefore, a do-it-yourself stuffed animal must be made in such a way that it makes noise - for example, from empty tin cans strung on a rope or beer cans. Even a slight breeze will sway the structure, and at the same time it will begin to move, making ringing sounds. You can also make your “guard” hair from a cut plastic bag or clothes: a skirt, a collar.
Aesthetic scarecrow
To make the site striking in its uniqueness, attractive to the eye, many make figures with their own hands from improvised materials that scare thieves and delight the soul. It can be a cool “grandma Yozhka” with an old rug instead of a skirt and a whisk in her hands. Yes, and the funny "centaur vice versa" - with a horse's head and a human body - many will like it.
Scarecrow comes to the rescue
Nevertheless, cunning birds somehow manage to recognize that it is not a living creature that protects the garden, but an ordinary scarecrow. How to be? How to make a scarecrow with your own hands so that it can talk? Elementary! You just need to place a small device inside the structure, for example, from a talking or singing doll, install a temporary relay - and periodically a human voice will scare all those who illegally try to profit from the workers of the garden or garden. Even a person who decides to steal something will be scared by such a “toy”!
Scarecrow for the protection of chicks
Many are tormented by the question of how to make a scarecrow with their own hands to protect chickens, ducklings, goslings from birds of prey. After all, kites and eagles are not at all afraid of scarecrows fixedly mounted on a stick. And with the rustling stripes of a package of predators you scare a little - they are very smart! Especially for such cases, you can offer the option of movable fixing the scarecrow. The main pole should be sawn and connected with a rubber hose. A structure made in this way will sway with the whole body from the wind, performing its scaring function. And for greater functionality, you can tie a long rope to his hand, for which you can pull it from time to time, setting it in motion. Simple and pretty effective!
