Ghost Pumpkin DIY

I’ve been seeing InTheWorkPlace‘s DIY ghost pumpkin a lot in my feed recently. No wonder it’s getting a lot of views – it is so cute and easy to make! It might look hard to recreate but trust me, it is not. You’ll finish this project quickly if you already worked with air dry clay. But if you haven’t, do not worry! The steps are very simple.

Easy Ghost Pumpkin DIY Materials

• faux pumpkin
• air dry clay
• water
• rolling pin
• toothpick
• Xacto knife or something to cut the clay
• sandpaper and PPE (optional)
• parchment paper (optional)
• ruler guides (optional)
• paint
• brush

How to Make Ghost Pumpkin

Step 1:

Roll the air dry clay using a rolling pin. Don’t make it too thin. Using an Xacto knife cut a wavy shape. Make sure that it is not too big or too small for your pumpkin.

Step 2:

Place it over your pumpkin and press it to so it takes its shape. Smoothen it out using water. If you feel like some areas need more clay, go ahead and add more. Just use water to connect it smoothly. You want to make the drippings different from each other. Make short and long ones. It doesn’t have to be super smooth.

Step 3:

To create the eyes and nose, press it onto the clay using your fingers. Create some vertical lines as well to make it look like a cloth. Once you are satisfied with it, let it dry. If it cracks as it dries, you can make a paste using clay and water. Just mix them together and place them on the cracking. Let it dry completely.

Step 4:

Paint the eyes and nose with black paint.
