    Before you begin you will need some sugar skull moulds. You can buy these online, I got mine on ebay, or check your local supermarket around Halloween time.

  2. 2

    Tall a ball of polymer clay and push it in to the mould, making sure that it fills the mould completely.

  3. 3

    Push the skull out and leave to air dry.

  4. 4

    When the skulls are dry, paint them with a coat of white paint and leave to dry.

  5. 5

    When the white coat has dried, paint on the rest of the features using bright colours of paint.

  6. 6

    If you want, you can dust them with a coat of shimmering make-up powder to give them the look of sugar.

  7. 7

    When they're all dry, decorate your house with them! Happy Day Of The Dead everyone.
