Step 1

Create a pumpkin stem with Model Magic®. Roll the clay into a long snake shape. Start at one end and wrap it into a circle that is wide enough to fit over the stem on the craft pumpkin. Now, coil the snake shape on top of the circle in rounds so it gets smaller as you work up until you have a stem that comes to a point. Set aside and let dry.

Step 2

Using a pencil, lightly trace designs onto the pumpkin.

Step 3

Trace over the pencil lines with a Gold paint pen. Let dry. 

Step 4

Attach the dried clay stem to the top of the pumpkin using hot glue. Let glue set.

Step 5

Use hot glue to attach moss to the top of the pumpkin, around the stem and a few pieces cascading down.

Step 6
Finally, hot glue a few butterflies to the moss. Let dry.
