I love skull themed crafts. Most of my Halloween decorations and crafts are skulls. And I’ve been wanting to do something with one of those nifty clip lights for a while now; seeing them back on the shelf recently has rekindled that desire. I’ve been wanting to make some Day of the Dead calavera skulls, so I snagged a big plastic skull and gave it a glowing makeover! Today at Giggles, Glitz, and Glam I had the honor of guest posting on Jana’s awesome blog, where I shared my tutorial. Make sure you stop by and check it out! [how to make a calavera skull light]
Project estimate:
- Plastic skull, $1
- Clip light, $1
- Nail polish, on hand or $1 and up
- Sharpie, on hand
Total: $2 and up

Just a tip, instead of using a heated needle to melt plastic, look for a soldering iron at the dollar store. I bought one that I use just for cutting, melting and fusing plastic. When the melted plastic builds up on the tip, just clean it with a little sandpaper, and it’s good as new.
