  3. Apply Glue
    Use glue to attach the cut out paper and embellishments to add extra flair to your design.

  4. Add Embellishments
    For extra flair, use crayons, markers, stickers or glitter glue to add even more color and creativity to your sugar skull.

  5. Display Your Creation

Tips and Tricks

  • Experiment with different color combinations to create a unique look for each skull.

  • Use glue sparingly to avoid smudging and to ensure it dries quickly.

  • Feel free to continue to add your own crafting supplies, like sequins or feathers, for an extra touch of creativity.
