Description

Put the icing on a skull with the 3D scribbler pen and turn it into a sugar skull vase.

Instructions

  1. Small 2018 01 25 190100 img 8350

    You can use any plastic skull for this project. I 3D printed my own.

  2. Small 2018 01 25 190110 img 8352

    Heat up the Scribbler 3D Pen with your first colour of filament.

  3. Small 2018 01 25 190114 img 8354

    Start by decorating the eyes. A swirly flower pattern works really well.

  4. Small 2018 01 25 190120 img 8357

    Do the same to the other eye, making sure it's nice and symmetrical.

  5. Small 2018 01 25 190125 img 8358

    Draw a few flowers around the skull.

  6. Small 2018 01 25 190131 img 8360

    Use a new colour to add a second swirl over the eyes and add dots to the first flowers.

  7. Small 2018 01 25 190139 img 8362

    Pick a new colour and add some hearts around the skull.

  8. Small 2018 01 25 190204 img 8365

    Pick another colour and add a few swirls and flowers here and there.

  9. Small 2018 01 25 190157 img 8366

    Pick another colour and add stars and decorate around the teeth and dots under the eyes.

  10. Small 2018 01 25 190216 img 8370

    Keep adding decorations and filling in the spaces.

  11. Small 2018 01 25 190224 img 8374

    Add one more colour, filling in blank spaces and adding more 3D design to your skull.

  12. Small 2018 01 25 190238 img 8376

    You're done.

  13. Small 2018 01 25 190247 img 8377

    Fill with flowers and put on display!
