You Will Need (6 things)

  • 1 Fake Flowers
  • Small Plastic Skull Toy
  • Glitter Glue
  • Sequins
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Pin Back

Steps (6 steps, 15 minutes)

  1. 1

    Here is what you'll need for this project, plus you can always add more to make it your own.

    Glitter glue in many colors, 1 small plastic skull, a glue gun, 1 flower in a very brigt color, some halloween sequins, a pin back (I took this one off a pin I repurposed) and some floral snips or scissors.

  2. 2

    Start by cutting the flower back off so that the flower will be as flat as possible. I used floral snips, but scissors will do just fine.

  3. 3

    Next use your glue gun to tack the petal layers together.

    The flower will need to be flat so that it will stick to the pin back well.

  4. 4

    You can't see it here, but I slathered the pinback with hot glue and pressed down the flower until it was set.

  5. 5

    In this step, hot glue the skull to the center top of your flower. Here I used some of the petals and hot glued them to the back of the skull so it would be more secure. Nothing like a little extra hot glue to make any project work !

  6. 6

    Embellish your skull with glitter glue to make it look like a sugar skull and viola you have a great pin to show off for dia de los muertos !
