Skull Inspiration for You, and You, and You Too!

Aaaaand here is part 2 of my simple (not-so-spooky) halloween decor ideas...skull edition! Growing up we often attended dia de los muertos events with some of our family friends who celebrated...this was always one of my favorite events - I love the beautiful, colorful and even festive way of honoring the dead. Although dia de los muertos is an event entirely separate from Halloween (let's not get them confused!), I was inspired to use some of the bright colors you often see there and integrate them in with more typical halloween decor...black and orange, pumpkins, spider web, etc. To me, it makes the halloween season much more beautiful! So, I made this little skull to put with some other bits of decor we already had out (sorry there are no pictures of that...the lighting in my kitchen is SO BAD).

I got this little cardboard skull from Michael's. I really wanted to get one of the big plaster ones they have been selling but they only had one left that was already painted. Sad day. I probably didn't need a life sized skull lying around anyway...

So, all I did was paint it white, paint on some bright designs (using some pictures I found online for inspiration), and hot glue on some fake flowers! Done!

 Hope this gets you inspired to add some fun colors to your Fall/Halloween decor!
