Create a Custom Sugar Skull Mask

Transform your favorite coloring page into a wearable piece of festive art! This simple physical craft activity is perfect for Día de los Muertos celebrations and will let you show off your incredible coloring skills to all your friends.

  • Print and Color: Choose one of the larger, front-facing sugar skull designs from the galleries above and print it out on thick cardstock paper. Color it in completely with your brightest markers!
  • Cut It Out: Carefully use scissors to cut along the outer edge of the skull. Next, ask an adult to help you cut out the large circular eye sockets so you can see through your mask.
  • Add Embellishments: Elevate your design by gluing on physical decorations like craft gems, glitter, or artificial flower petals around the crown and cheeks.
  • Attach the String: Punch a small hole on the left and right sides of the skull, right near the temples. Tie a piece of elastic or yarn through each hole to comfortably secure the mask to your head.

Now you have a stunning, personalized sugar skull mask ready for the festivities. This project is a fantastic way to honor the vibrant traditions of the holiday while unleashing your inner artist!
