To make these, you will need a store-bought skull. I am talking about the plastic ones, of course. You will need said skull as base for your paper mache. Cover with layers of strips of paper, let dry overnight, cut open, fill with foam and then paint any way you want.

Simply cut your skull design and sew or finish the edges by hand stitching. Attach to a pillow case as a cute cover for a cushion. [Tutorial](https://goo.gl/e43HXr) ## 4.

Clay Beads _ How cute are these little guys? You make them using polymer clay and add skull details before baking. Once they're dry, you can use them as beads for jewelry projects. Tutorial_ ## 6.
