How do you make Sugar Skulls?
Learn how to make your own Sugar Skulls with these step-by-step instructions that have a picture for each step. They do take some planning because you will need to purchase the supplies and then after you mold the sugar, it takes a day to dry before you can decorate them. If you need some supplies, Reign Trading Co is a great source.

What are Sugar Skulls?
Sugar skulls are traditional Mexican folk art used to decorate and hand out during "Dia de los Muertos" (Day of the Dead) Festivities.
