First, you will want to start off by cutting out a piece of construction paper that is a little smaller than your craft sticks. Glue the craft sticks onto the paper so that they are supported.

Once the glue is set you can begin to paint your sugar skull. We started off by painting it a solid white base.

Now that you have allowed the craft paint to dry you are ready to attach the wiggly eyes. Once the wiggly eyes are set you can paint on the rest of your design.

We painted an upside-down heart nose in orange. A few orange dashes around the eyes. A magenta smile and using the blue a few dots as the eyebrows.

The last step we decided to do was to give the skull some definition by using black paint and painting it into a somewhat skull outline.
