craftgrrl | Dia de los Muertos decorations.

I know it is late to post this but I figured hey why not. I celebrated Day of the Dead this year (it was on November 2) and I spent the 3 days prior making decorations for my little shrine dealy. My favorite thing though were these paper cut out skulls I made that had paper googly eyes. I just used a bunch of different layered construction paper, highlighters, sharpies, and a glue stick. The googly eyes were made by folding a strip of paper accordian style, then gluing one end to the base paper and the other end to the eyeball paper. It makes the eyes stick out and bounce. You can see the acordian fold on the left eye of the bottom skull.

Anyho, that is my little dia de los muertos craft project. If you could see them in real life it would be better because the layered cut out paper is a really nice effect.
