Use this reference planas a maker reference, not a final spec. Some pages are researched and drafted with AI assistance, then reviewed by our team. Clay lines, ovens, tools, adhesives, and finishing products behave differently, so check your clay brand's instructions plus manufacturer safety guidance before baking, finishing, or attaching hardware.
Cut both white ghost blanks from one template first, because the clean border and centered hanger are what keep the sprite shape readable once the yellow face and pink skirt go on. After the white outline matches, add the yellow face block, the hot-pink zigzag band, and the dark square accents before you pierce the top hole and bake.
A quick read on the clay method, surface finish, and effort level before you start gathering tools.
Dimensions, motif spacing, and step timing below are build-ready estimates inferred from the reference image and the listed technique. Verify measurements against your own setup before cutting or assembling.
Work in sequence so the form, thickness, surface detail, and finishing stay controlled from prep through bake.
Roll one even white sheet and cut both ghost blanks from the same template so the borders match on each side.
Add the yellow face block and keep the top corners square so the ghost does not start reading like a tag or banner.
Cut the hot-pink zigzag band from a thinner sheet and line it up so the white border stays visible at the sides and bottom.
Place the small dark eye squares and lower-edge accents last, because those tiny blocks lose their shape quickly if you move them around too much.
Pierce the top holes, bake the pair flat on a tile, and let them cool fully before handling the hardware.
Attach the short silver rings and stud tops after cure so the ghosts hang straight and keep the arcade-sprite silhouette.
Metal findings like posts, hooks, and jump rings may contain nickel or other allergens. If you have sensitive skin, choose surgical steel or titanium findings and test any sealant or coating on a small area before wearing.
Start with the core build kit, then add optional finishing or hardware only if it fits the version you want to make.
Needed for the full ghost outline and the clean border around the color blocks.
Useful for the face block that makes the ghost readable from a distance.
Needed for the zigzag skirt band near the lower half of the ghost.
Useful for the square eye pixels and the darker accent row at the hem.
Helps you keep the white ghost blanks even before you add the inner color panels.
Useful for keeping both ghosts the same thickness and light enough to wear.
Best for the rectangular top and the stepped zigzag hem.
Makes it easier to pierce the top hole before cure without distorting the white border.
Matches the silver stud tops visible in both images.
Lets you recreate the short metal connection above each ghost.

Read the technique guides that matter most for building this piece, refining the finish, or avoiding the most common mistakes.
Graphic lips, eyes, mushrooms, and badge-like brooches are often easier to build as flat or gently domed pixel slabs. This guide covers crisp staircase edges, stacked layers, and ways to keep left and right pieces matched.
Choose polymer clay earring findings by front view, rear contact area, disclosed metal details, attachment method, and finished weight instead of treating one post, glue, or metal as universal.
Conditioning is not just softening clay. It is how you get cleaner slabs, steadier cane reduction, and sharper cut edges before the piece ever reaches the oven.

Start with posts, glue, and cutters before you obsess over the silhouette. Those three decisions drive clean assembly and fewer failures.

GlueMany makers reach for a two-part epoxy when they want slower setup time for post placement. Treat every adhesive as a test-first choice, especially if the clay, finding, finish, or prep routine changes.
PostsUse flat-pad posts with clear material specs when you want a common, easy-to-source assembly starting point. If you add titanium, verify the listing details and material spec before you position it as a separate hardware option.
Keep this build handy while you test your own version.
