Take a plastic pumpkin and take the light out from the back.
Spray paint the back of pumpkin with black paint and fade it in the front of pumpkin face allowing some of the orange to show through.
Using acrylic paint, give the pumpkin more dimension with your yellow and white paint. Use black paint to draw in black lines and shade.
Set aside pumpkin to allow it to dry.
Take a cheap scarecrow and remove its head and legs.
Using floral wire, bind his upper body then lower his legs and wire them to the bottom. This will give the scarecrow a skinny scarier look.
Find some sticks that look like long arms and wire them to the scarecrow's shoulders.
Spray paint the entire body with black paint.
Cut a hole to the side of your scarecrow's neck stick and use hot glue to seal it.
Fold brown fabric long enough to cover his body and cut bottom into slits by cutting and ripping.
At the fabric fold, cut halfway and drape over scarecrow's shoulders.
Drape black Halloween mesh.
Use a battery multi-color LED tea-light and stick it in the pumpkin.
Drape string lights along scarecrow's shoulders.
Hot glue small plastic pumpkins to his hand that looks raised up.
Glue a closet touch light on the arm to spotlight pumpkins.
