DIY Day of the Dead Sugar Skull Banner

We're hosting a Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) Halloween party this year.

I wasn't feeling like I wanted to do excessive crafting for this party and while looking for decorations,

I found a plain skull garland. 

So I decided to jazz it up a bit for our party. 

Keep reading for the details or just enjoy the pictures!

+ paper skull garland

I found this same banner/garland at Target and Wal-Mart. 

Other options would be to print out skills and cut around them 

or if you have a cutting machine-use that to cut out skull shapes.

+ brightly colored paint

+ papers

to make paper flowers-other options would be making felt flowers 

or purchasing flowers from the dollar store

+ various embellishments

Definitely an optional part. 

Just use whatever you've got lying around the house!

Use a q-tip to add paint then hot glue embellishments and flowers.

To make my paper flowers I just googled "paper flowers" and followed the pictures.

I just wanted to make this easy and quick.

There you have it!
