One of my FAVORITE October and Halloween projects. It’s easy — the whole thing will take less than an hour — but it has BIG impact. . The inspiration for this project came from when we lived in New York. Part of celebrating Halloween was making a trek to (the real live!) Sleepy Hollow to see Legends Night. It’s super cool. Creepy and spooky without being horror-movie-like or a typical gory haunted house. We loved it. Old lanterns line the pathways. There are ghosts in a boat paddling on a pond. Storytellers recounting local legends. The Headless Horseman riding by. Fresh apple cider and donuts. Just wonderfully done through and through. . Around one of the bonfires at Legends Night, they had 3 simple scarecrows standing guard. Basically, they were a wood cross hung with old rags and topped with a pumpkin head. And they looked so dramatic all lit up by the fire. . I decided to build one for our own yard and I was so pleased with how it turned out. . Will you be celebrating Halloween this year? Are you expecting trick or treaters?
