Scarecrows in the Garden 2013

Here is the finished scarecrow from the Atlanta Botanical Garden's Scarecrows in the Garden 2013. Below are a couple of shots of the scarecrow. I made all his cloths out of indoor/outdoor fabric so   everything would keep the bright colors while outside for over a month. Instead of stuffing him with real hay, I used spray foam (Great Stuff). That way he wouldn't start to sag over time and lose his shape. The last thing I did was coat the whole scarecrow with NeverWet from Rust-oleum. I saw the ads on TV and thought I would give it a try and boy did it work great!!!! All the painted details looked fresh and new. I would recommend this product to anyone doing a project like this.
