Description

The calavera, or sugar skull, is one of the most well-known gifts and decorations associated with Mexico’s Dia de los Muertos, a celebration of loved ones who have passed on. The calavera has been in use since the mid-1700s and were originally created as a sweet treat for children. In modern times, however, it is not uncommon to leave a finely decorated sugar skull as a gift for the spirits of those who left before us. Whether you’re looking for a way to remember those who have passed, or you simply want to add a unique piece to your home, this calavera inspired ornament is sure to please. 

Product features a skull shape made from recycled magazine paper and resembles the design of a traditional Mexican sugar skull. The skull’s features are made with tightly coiled paper shapes arranged inside an outline - the mouth is made from circles placed beside each other, while the nose is made from a teardrop shape. The eyes are large empty circles with a quartet of teardrops forming diamond-shaped pupils in each eye. The forehead and chin both have diamond and teardrop shaped accents. As these products are made from recycled material, they will always look slightly different from each other. 

- Size: 2.6 x 3.3 inches
