Here Come the Skeletons

Halloween is drawing near, and what's Halloween without a few skeletons? You can find beautiful paper mache skeletons in arts and crafts markets, clay skeleton heads glowing from a candle within, or even create your own! Arrange them to sit on your mantle, glow on a foyer table, or wait on the front porch to greet trick-or-treaters -- they'll be happily spooked for sure.

Above, a glowing skeleton head greets guests on my foyer table.

This skeleton head was made using a balloon, tissue paper, glue, and a fun imagination!

Found at a "Day of the Dead" market, this darling paper mache skeleton waits patiently for trick-or-treaters on the front porch.

I love this skeleton's lavender color!

Happy Halloween Decorating!
