Instructions

  1. Small 2018 01 30 153501 img 7588

    For this project you'll need a template of a skull. I found one on the Silhouette store I liked but you could just draw your own.

  2. Small 2018 01 30 153505 img 7586

    Cut the shape out of black shrink plastic and then cut it out of clear shrink plastic. Cut out the eyes, nose and teeth from the clear shrink plastic too.

  3. Small 2018 01 30 153816 img 7592

    Fold a piece of A4 paper in half and place the clear shrink plastic on top.

  4. Small 2018 01 30 153843 img 7594

    Paint the shrink plastic with mod podge.

  5. Small 2018 01 30 153902 img 7596

    Sprinkle with white glitter and leave to dry.

  6. Small 2018 01 30 153924 img 7609

    Heat both of the pieces of shrink plastic in the oven until small and then press flat under a book.

  7. Small 2018 01 30 153948 img 7611

    Glue the glittery skull on top of the black skull.

  8. Small 2018 01 30 154015 img 7614

    Pick out a few large gems and glue them around the skull.

  9. Small 2018 01 30 154034 img 7616

    Add a few smaller crystals around the skull.

  10. Small 2018 01 30 154047 img 7634

    Glue a brooch back to the back of the skull.
