Start by clearing a flat, clean surface to work on. Lay down some parchment paper to make cleanup easier and prevent the clay from sticking.

Break off a small piece of the glow-in-the-dark polymer clay and knead it until soft and pliable.

Roll the conditioned clay into an oval shape for the ghost's body. Pinch the top slightly to form the head.

Gently hollow out the bottom of the oval shape to create a base for the ghost.

Create two small balls from the black polymer clay for the ghost's eyes. Flatten them slightly and attach them to the ghost's face.

Take a piece of orange polymer clay and knead it until soft.

Roll the conditioned orange clay into a ball and gently press down on the top to create an indent.

Sculpt the sides of the pumpkin into sections using a craft knife to add realism.

Roll a small piece of brown clay into a cylinder for the stem and attach it to the pumpkin's top.

For the tendril, take a small length of green clay, curl it, and attach it to the pumpkin.

Place both the ghost and the pumpkin on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake according to the polymer clay instructions, typically for 15-30 minutes at 275°F (135°C).

After baking, take the creations out of the oven and let them cool completely before handling.
