Skull Sunflowers

Step 1

Find some plastic skulls that will fit well with the fake flowers you've chosen. The large sunflowers here were found at hobby lobby and I'm using two different plastic skulls for the two larger flowers. The skulls were found in "bag o bones" type sets you find at home Depot, Michaels, and other stores with Halloween decor. I always stock up at the end of the season for next years projects.

Step 2

Once you've found skulls that will fit your flowers you will remove the backs of the skulls with a utility knife or other tool. The plastic is fairly easy to cut, but be careful. For the smaller of the two flowers I also chose to remove the bottom jaw of its skull.

Step 3

To assemble the flowers, I first run some hot glue around the cut edge in the back of the skull and apply some fake moss type material to help hide the back edge and add some texture. To finish them off simply run another bead of hot glue around the back of the skull and press the skull into the center of the flower, being careful to fold back the flower petals.
