To complete this tutorial you will need:

Air Dry Clay - I have used Pebeo, Gedeo Non-Firing Clay.  Any brand or Air Dry Clay will work, this clay is a little more expensive than some but worth it for the superior quality.

Basic Sculpting tools - A basic set of wood or plastic sculpting tools.  But you can just use a table knife or other kitchen utensils.

Rolling pin - Any type will work, I use an acrylic rolling pin.

Filling - You can use pretty much anything that you can scrunch up into a ball shape then pull away. I have used cotton wool balls stuffed into a compostable bag.

Bowl - For water, any size.

Paint Brushes - Soft bristled but firm brushes, nylon or natural bristles. A flat and a round brush are useful.

Acrylic Paint - In whatever colours you would like to paint your pumpkin.  I have used orange, cadmium yellow, burnt sienna, dark green, burnt umber and white.

LED Tealight - You MUST use an LED tealight.
