How To Make Halloween Skull Decorations


Halloween is coming and if you like your spookiness to have a vague Freda Kahlo flavour this is the craft project for you.This is a great project to do with the kids as it doesn't require a huge amount of skill and the end results are very satisfying.
Happy Halloween

You will need:
  • Plastic skulls (I got mine from a poundshop)
  • Plasticoat spraypaint
  • Enamel paint
  • Small paint brushes
  • Metallic fibre pens

Step One
Spray your skulls with the plasticoat. Do this outside or in a well ventilated room. Wear a dust mask. Leave to dry for a few hours.
