Scarecrow Kills Farmgirl Costume

We started with a list of costume ideas but we wanted to pick something original that is not over done as well as something that we could make elaborate and more than just clothes we wear. We are a dead farm girl hung up on a post and a scarecrow who killed the farm girl. We started with a wooden board and put it on a piano mover. Then the perimeter is made with chicken wire with the cornstalks around the back to create a setting along with the straw on the bottom. Then we put straw on the base of the platform. Then we added little extras, like the dead horse head and the crows, all things you would find in a field of corn or on a farm. The scarecrow costume we pieced together ourselves from clothing we had and found at costume shops. For the farm girl, we got the jean short overalls and then the shirt and then put a corn cob through the middle of the overalls to show that the scarecrow stabbed the farm girl and also slit her throat.
