Looking for a fun Halloween project to do? How about easy glitter skulls? We used a couple of recycled newspaper skulls that we found at our local craft store, homemade green glue and eco-glitter. When they were finished, we placed them inside one of our kitchen apothecary jar (these usually house flour, sugar + coffee) complete with recycled artificial moss and an antique key – you know, to lock the skull inside. Read on to learn how to make a set of glitter skulls to display for Halloween.
What you will need:
– recycled newspaper skulls
– homemade green glue (recipe below)
– eco-glitter
– paintbrushes
Step 1: Make the Homemade Green Glue
What you will need:
– 1 c. organic flout
– 1/3 c. organic sugar
– 1 1/2 c. water
– 1 tsp. organic vinegar
– green natural food colorant
Directions:
Warm all of the ingredients over medium heat until you get a thickened consistency. Remove from heat, let cool.
Step 2: Get Painting
Use paintbrushes to coat your skulls with homemade green glue.
Step 3: Get Glittering
Sprinkle eco-glitter all over the skulls. I recommend placing the skulls on a plate to catch the leftover glitter.
Step 4: Get Displaying
We used our glitter skulls in the entry-way of our home for everyone to enjoy.
