Glitter Skulls!

I absolutely love glitter and skulls! You can typically purchase a glitter skull that has already been done at a local retailer for about 20$ each. Even if I need to spend more money, if I can do it by myself I would much rather do it myself! What you will need is styrofoam skulls or paper mache tiny skulls from Michaels, modge podge, a simple paint brush, glitter, and a sealer for the modge podge. 

These are the paper mache skulls, as well as the Martha Stewart glitter I used.

These are the styrofoam skulls (9.99$ each, and that's Elvira in the back)

You will want to apply modge podge to as much of the surface as possible, and and sprinkle the glitter onto the modge podge. I had put the glitter into bowls and used a spoon to cover the skulls to help eliminate some of the mess! 
These are the skulls in the end, I then applied a coat of modge podge on top of the glitter and gave it a seal spray outside (we live in a condo, fumes linger!) 

I am super elated with how they turned out and we will defiantly keep them out all year!
