| Clay Pumpkin Pin | |
Materials Needed:
Make a ball of orange clay about 3/4 to 1 inch big. Use a cup or anything else with a flat section to flatten your clay ball until it is about 1/4 inch thick. You can use the toothpick to very lightly draw lines on your pumpkin.
Instructions:
Make orange clay or play dough (you can check out my
Crafty Recipes page for a recipe you like).

Once you are done drawing your lines with the toothpick, break about a 1 inch piece off the end of the toothpick. Stick this in the top of the pumpkin, pointy-side in, to be the stem. Put your pumpkin aside until the clay dries. This can take several hours or even a day... Check out the directions for drying in the recipe you choose to use.
Once the clay is dry, use the felt, paper, paint, marker, or sequins - whichever you choose - and make a face on your pumpkin. Use the glue to attach the pin backing to your pumpkin and set it aside until it is completely dry.
