I wish it was Fall

It is so hot today I wish it was a nice cool fall day!! Fall time is the best time of year and I just love decorating for Fall. Today I am posting a glassblock scarecrow I made last year. You can buy the glass block at your local craft store, lowes, or I bought mine at a local glass block store. You need raffia for the hair, a hot glue gun, a piece of burlap for the bottom, and a cowboy hat. I used vinyl for the face. You could paint a face on but I'm not good at painting. It is a little dangerous glueing on the raffia so maybe wear gloves! Most glass blocks have a hole in the bottom so you could fill it with candy corn.  It was pretty easy to make and looks really nice!
