Before you begin you will need some sugar skull moulds. You can buy these online, I got mine on ebay, or check your local supermarket around Halloween time.
-

Tall a ball of polymer clay and push it in to the mould, making sure that it fills the mould completely.
-

Push the skull out and leave to air dry.
-

When the skulls are dry, paint them with a coat of white paint and leave to dry.
-

When the white coat has dried, paint on the rest of the features using bright colours of paint.
-

If you want, you can dust them with a coat of shimmering make-up powder to give them the look of sugar.
-

When they're all dry, decorate your house with them! Happy Day Of The Dead everyone.

No I didn't have to bake it - the package said to let it air dry and it did!

After a long time of waiting and not understanding I finally have to ask: What the hell is a sugar skull?
I´ve never heared of that.
