Some Sassy Skellies in Tutus! DIY instructions

I had an extra pack of Skeleton Garland hanging out, and thought to myself that they looked awfully inappropriate and bald. So I had to do something about it!!! 

I had some roving  i wasn't using for anything, a BUNCH of glittery black tulle, and a sheet or rhinestones that have sticky backs that don't sticky too well.. So I decided I would spice these nude, bald skellies up!

First I took  the skellies off of the jute they were tied up on, and replaced that with single stands of ricrac in pink and white ribbon.. So they're single now. 

Second, I took a tiny bit of roving ( in four different colors) and wrapped it around my finger, put glue on the skull around the loop that holds the ribbons, and slid the roving over the ribbon, down on the skull.  I finished the hair off with a spritz if hairspray.

Third, I took some scrapbooking rhinestones, and glued them into the eye sockets.

Finally I cut out a strip of tulle, long enough to cut into four equal sections that would wrap around the hips of each skeleton twice. Then I took some thread, a needle, did the whole gathering thing, sewed the ends together in the back.

That's it! That's all it took. These are already sold. I can't find any more skeletons, or I'd make a TON of these little ladies. Does anyone know where these are available online year round??

I'd love to get a bunch more, and use these as some freebies, and maybe sell a few here and there. 

The lady that purchased these, she's putting them on her Halloween tree that she's also using for Christmas. :) Makes me happy! I love hearing what my customers are doing with their purchases. I like to know the back stories of why my pieces spoke to them. It's great knowing someone else has the same kind of twisted weird humor I do. :)

Anyone have any ideas they want to share for using your Skeleton Garland? Post them in the comment sections, and let's share our ideas!! Post pictures if you want! I'd love to see what you've done for Halloween decorations!!!
