So once again, we thought we would come together and share our Day of Dead Craft ideas in a video for you. I have then added some additional links for you peruse! Día de los Muertos Overview Key themes of Dia de Los muertos are altars (known as an ofrenda) to honor the dead, decorative Calaveras (also known as Sugar Skulls or Day of the Dead Skulls) and colourful marigolds and other orange and yellow flowers. They are often depicted as colorful and vibrant sugar skulls, which are used as decorations during the celebrations. I asked the boys what they would like to make, and ‘masks’ and ‘bunting’ seemed popular and do-able choices… as they are 9 and 10 now, and love their Marvel graphic novels, they wanted me to ‘draw’ the templates in Illustrator for them to colour – so that’s what we’ve done… and I’ve attached a FREE Printable for you to colour and create your own Day of the Dead garland too…(you too can make your own ‘microwave dave’ character like the 10yo…) Adorn yourself with flowers and skeleton masks to prepare for Day of the Dead!
