I was so excited to tear open my package from Mod Podge as soon as I received it. Of course S wanted to open everything up and start playing too. I knew that I wanted to make some clay pumpkins that glowed in the dark…..ooooooohhhhhhh spooky 😉 When I saw the Mod Podge Molds they peaked my interest immediately, especially the letter set. I really liked that you could use either the clay or the Mod Melts in the molds.
Glow in the Dark Clay Pumpkins
What you need:
Directions:
After reading the directions on the Mod Podge Collage Clay, I learned that it takes a long time to dry. So that I didn’t have to use as much clay, I took aluminum foil and made balls for the base of the pumpkins and then covered the aluminum foil with the clay. I preferred the pumpkin to have a smoother finish, so I used my fingers and some water to rub down the peaks.
After the pumpkins were dry, I painted them orange using the FolkArt Multi-Surface Paint which went on smooth and had great coverage. I cut stems off of leaves to use as stems on the pumpkin. Then I pushed the stems into the top of the pumpkins.
Happy Halloween Sign
What you need:
Mod Melts
Mod Molds
Picture Frame
Scrapbook paper
Directions:
S was fascinated by the letters and asked me to make the whole alphabet for her. She has used them to spell out sight words.
