The final pumpkin on both of those scarecrows wasn't the one I initially purchased for them. So it was trial and error until I got the one that I felt was a good fit. I used a thin wooden dowel inserted into a small hole at the back of the pumpkin to hold it in place. A flat resting "shelf" was added so the pumpkin could sit on something and not tear out the back of the pumpkin from the weight of leaning slightly forward - I was a little worried the wooden dowel would snap from the pressure, but everything worked out fine.Rothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11329750481399948095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784285653010648547.post-65221767528798727932008-11-03T00:29:00.000-05:002008-11-03T00:29:00.000-05:00This might sound like a dumb question, but about t...This might sound like a dumb question, but about the scarecrows with real pumpkins for heads.....do you make the scarecrow knowing in advance what size and shape of pumpkin you will use?...or do you just find one that fits the finished product?
