At the Joints of the arms and to the hands I put a total of 8 closed eye hooks and connected them with small zip ties so the arms would have the movement of normal arms and blow in the wind. The whole Scarecrow was molded and mached ontop of a ACC bucky Upper Torso when the Mache dried I pulled it off and reinforced the mache then I used spray foam Unsulation to fill in the open space. the chest cavity head and arms are filled with foam. The Teeth and hands were made with hot glue I made a inpression in white air drying clay let it dry 24 hours and filled the mold with hot glue.













Good Luck Everyone
