Probably one of the most lovable yet hated autumn icons is the scarecrow, as it represents celebrations of the autumn harvest season. Traditionally, these realistic crop protectors are used by farmers to keep birds away from crops. So, why not spruce up your front yard with crazy Halloween scarecrow decorations?

Despite their intimidating image, scarecrows aren’t really scary. They add a mix of fright and fun to outdoor Halloween decoration. Here are a few intriguing scarecrow decoration ideas to get inspiration for making one by yourself.

# Cornstalk Scarecrow

Using a bundle of cornstalks, you can create a scarecrow for your backyard. But you need to be careful while forming a division between presumed torso and legs. Otherwise, it’ll look like a bundle of hay from a distance. Depending on your preferences you can pick any scarecrow style as shown in the pictures below.

Scary version or the funny DIY Halloween craft with a witch hat, either way, you can use cornstalk to form impressive Halloween decor.
