This is a Halloween decoration recon I did this winter. I used a plastic light up skull, some glue on jewels, and puffy paint to create this masterpiece.
I used a Target Halloween decoration and some super cheap crafting supplies to make this.

At this point you'll want to look up some sugar skull designs you like, or sketch out your own. I suggest planning a little ahead since it can get messy if you have to keep wiping the paint away while you're drawing on the skull.
Some sites that are good for designs...

Plan out your design and then slow and steadily begin to lay out the image on the skull. I start from the eyes and work out.
