Halloween Skull Art

You might have extra cobwebs, fake cemeteries, and creepy jack-o-lanterns displayed OUTSIDE your home this October, but the spooky season calls for Halloween décor inside AND out!  Get inspired on one way to make your basic plastic skull a little more fancy with a non-traditional Halloween color palette, shiny gems, and a floral crown. The sleek black façade of our Whittaker frame is a perfect way to contain up this unique piece of pastel Halloween décor, which can be placed on a shelf or hung in an entryway of your home. 

Supplies

• Frame (We used our Whittaker frame) 
• Patterned paper
• Plastic Skull
• Spray Paint – Ballet Slipper Pink
• Artificial Flowers
• Pearls
• Rhinestone gems
• Hot Glue Gun
• Gem-Tac adhesive
• Fake spiderwebs

First, find a saw and cut the back half of the skull off so you have a flush surface to adhere it to the frame background.

Next, give your bony friend a few layers of pink spray paint and allow it to dry thoroughly.

Remove the backer of the frame and adhere the patterned paper onto the surface.

Adhere your skull onto the backer.

Adhere artificial flowers, leaves, and pearls using hot glue. Add a spider over the eye for a creepy effect! Tip: it’s the best time to add black flowers that are pretty sad any other time of the day!

Add gems onto the forehead in strategic spots.

Add the backer into the Whittaker frame and stretch fake spiderwebs across the corners and front view. Adhere additional spiders or florals to the backer.

If desired, style with additional skulls on a shelf space to really kick up the spooky factor!
