Fall's Best Scarecrow Nail Art Designs
Happy Scarecrow in a Field
The scarecrow did its job, and the wheat is ready to harvest, safe from the birds flying overhead. On alternating nails, you can see a pretty patchwork suitable for a cozy homemade quilt. The light blue background puts a happy vibe into the autumn gold and maroon colors.
Scarecrow Roots
Why are scarecrows blonde? This was not always the case. Today you’ll see scarecrow nail art designs with golden hair made of straw. But scarecrows go all the way back to ancient Egypt. Instead of being a still statue left in a field, “scare crow” was a job description. People hid, then jumped out with nets to capture birds nibbling on crops.
Some Native Americans had a similar practice. Scarers of crows sat on platforms above the plants and shouted at raiding wildlife to frighten them away. In early medieval times, small children had a similar role in Europe.
In ancient Greece, farmers put statues of the farming god, Priapus, among their crops. The Romans copied the idea. Over the centuries, the idea of having a god to bless fields eventually turned into what we now call scarecrows by the time of the Black Plague. People built them with gourds for heads and hay-stuffed sacks for bodies and stood them on poles. If the fabric flapped in the wind, all the better.
However, farmers soon learned that they needed to add a little “life” to their scarecrows. They had to move them around in the field every couple of days or the animals would ignore them.
Here’s a classic scarecrow head in fall shades. The plaid accent nail is perfect, it looks just like an old flannel shirt. If you love the colors, check out the new DND DIVA Happy Trails Collection with even more natural hues.

The art of piecing fabrics together is even featured in the Guggenheim Museum. Modern artists like Phong Chi Lai and Kiley Ferons post innovative patchwork designs on Instagram, too.

Pink Patchwork Tips
Let’s dig into how to do scarecrow nails and patchwork designs. For the first step, choose the nail size and shape. Next, pick the colors. If you can match the natural skin tone, whether warm, cool, or neutral, all the better.
Then, decide if you’ll add scarecrow(s), fall themed art, or stick to patches only. It’s hard to decide when there are so many options, so maybe think of the overall feeling you want to convey. For example, here are perky pink patchwork nails for a positive mood. They could have had a contemporary look with just the slashes of color, but the “stitching” gives them a rustic charm.
