Sugar Skull, Handmade Quilling Paper Ornament

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 flat skull shape made from bright blue quilling paper. It has white paper teeth and white accents around black paper eye sockets, with bright red accents rising off of the eyes in replication of traditional sugar skull designs.
