How To Make A Spooky Pumpkin For A Dollshouse

Making a spooky pumpkin for a dollhouse is a fun and easy project. Here's a step-by-step guide to make one:

Materials needed:

• Orange polymer clay

• Green polymer clay

• Small knife or sculpting tool

• Toothpick

• Black acrylic paint

Instructions:

1. Take a small amount of orange polymer clay and roll it into a ball. This will be the base of the pumpkin.

2. Use your fingers to shape the ball into a pumpkin shape. Make it as smooth or as lumpy as you like.

3. Use a small knife or sculpting tool to make vertical lines down the sides of the pumpkin, making sure to not cut all the way through the clay. These lines will give the pumpkin its characteristic ridges.

4. Use the toothpick to make a small hole in the top of the pumpkin, where the stem will go.

5. Take a small amount of green polymer clay and roll it into a thin cylinder. Cut it to the desired length for the pumpkin stem.

6. Use the toothpick to make a small hole in the top of the pumpkin, where the stem will go.

7. Gently push the stem into the hole you made earlier, making sure it is secure.

8. Use the toothpick to create a small indentation where the pumpkin's eyes and mouth will go. You can make any spooky or silly face you like!

9. Use black acrylic paint to carefully paint the eyes and mouth. Allow the paint to dry completely.

10. Your spooky pumpkin is now ready to use in your dollhouse! Place it on a table, chair, or any other spooky setting you like.

Note: Polymer clay should be baked according to the manufacturer's instructions before painting.
