Skull Chandelier


What you will need:
mini plastic skulls *I got mine in a bag at Michaels
nail or something else that is pokey
Gorilla Glue
ribbon, fish line, or cord *I used some silver cording I had left over from another project.

I found these glitter skulls and had to have them!! They are the perfect marriage between my love for glitter and something cool & spooky for my boys.
First I tried to just glue ribbon to the tops of the skulls, but all that stuck to the glue was the glitter and they wouldn't hang. So I grabbed a nail and poked a hole in the top of the skull.
Next, I added a little glue to the tip of the cording and pushed it inside of the hole. Once the cording was in I put a little dab of glue around the cord in the hole to secure it in place. Then I cut the cord to the desired length. *I cut all my cords at different lengths to give a little more interest to the end product.


I let them all dry then tied the to the chandelier. Tada! Girly glitter meets spooky skulls...perfect!
