Tutorial: Little Jack O Lanterns

The actual directions are for sugar paste but this is one of those simple little photo tutorials that works equally for modeling in polymer clay. I would draw or paint your jack o’ lantern face on after baking. You could also use little crumbs of black clay to do the embellishments. Sometimes the best decorations are the simplest ones though!

The whole blog-site has a variety of simple sugar paste models that are equally doable in polymer clay. Have a poke around. Canalblogs are typically in French – use translate.google.com if you need to get an English version although this specific tutorial is just a photo step by step.

So this year it is all about the Talking interactive Jack o Lantern, have you seen it? What do you think? A great addition to the Halloween themed porch?  My kids talk a lot, so I am not sure I need a talking Jack o Lantern too.

  1. Absolutely adore these little pumpkins! I’ve always been a fan of polymer clay work and have started it myself. I love that they are also sugar paste, twice the possibilities 🙂
