Firstly, I hope you all enjoy this video! It's rather long but you can always skip to the part you need to see! As a photo enthusiast and a professional interior and product photographer I always need props and what better way to get the best props than making it yourself. Secondly here are a few things you need to make Jack-O'-Lanterns with air drying clay Air Drying Clay 1 package. I used Monte Marte and its the best. Available on Amazon. Cling wrap A plastic ball or crumpled aluminium foil A sharp exacto knife A flat, clean surface (I use a marble slab) to work on Lots of patience. The rest is in the video.

Here's the step by step tutorial of DIY mini pumpkins and I assure you you'll love it!
