Since the skulls were made of plaster, I used a sharp knife to scrape away the price tags and to reshape the skulls a little.

The skulls were meant to be scary looking so they had fake cracks and really sharp features... So I scraped them until they looked much more soft and friendly :)

I did a base coat of white for the sugar skull look...

Then I painted the eye sockets and candle holes black....

I used the paint to paint on swirls, dots, and flowers...

Then I used the permanent markers to outline the designs and to add the little stripes around the top and jaw line and teeth.

Using the mod podge, I glued glitter to the teeth, and the jaw line for a little "bling."

Then I sealed both of the skulls in clear spray sealer!

*note about sealer*
be careful with this stuff... Mine went on a little thick and had some drips on the back... They aren't terribly noticeable.. but it still annoyed me!

Thanks for looking :)
