SKULLS (idea from 'Easy Skull Charms by Julz S...for more details):
Mold 3 small skulls out of clay, and then insert a small jewelry eye hook on top before baking.
Once you have baked the clay and it has hardened and cooled; paint the eyes and mouth black, and then let it dry completely.
*I punched a hole with a nail and put the hook thru it and bent it all the way down on the other side, securing it with tape.

SKELETON HANDS
They hands actually came like this, but if you use a different kind, then cross the hands to have a 90 degree angle, and then secure them together with craft glue or a hot glue gun.
*Because of the kind of frame I had, I was unable to secure them to the mat board, so they kind of float free.

'You may find the following disturbing' sign & the Cardboard skull (from scrapbook kit); were secured to the mat board with jewelry findings (somewhat like a nail, and then bent in the back). I secured everything with tape afterwards.
Slide the backing back into the frame and display or give as a gift.
