Sugar Skulls - napkin giveaway


Sugar skulls traditionally used in the celebration of Dia da los Muertos seem to be everywhere these days.  However, I still find them quite colorful.

I bought a package of napkins to use in decoupage.



I really expected to get more color from looking at the napkin in the package but when I unfolded it this is what I had.


I'm decorating a jug (old wine bottle) to decorate the porch.  I used the napkin and painted some flowers with acrylics.  I'm not done, I will add some more color on the sides and back.

Meanwhile, I have a stack of napkins left.  I would be happy to mail 2 napkins to the first three people who ask for them in the comments.  I will also mail to those outside the U.S. as they will fit an envelop and be quite light.  So.. speak up (in comments) and I'll send them on their way.

  1. You have been so kind to me over the years, I hate to ask, but yes, I would LOVE a couple of these sugar skull napkins.

  2. Where are my manners. This jug is already looking fabulous. I'm sure by the time you work your magic on it, it will be fabulous.

  3. That is disappointing about the napkins. But the jug looks great, even if the sugar skull isn't as brightly colored as the one on the top. Hugs-Erika

  4. I saw a bunch of Day of the Dead decorations with the Halloween decorations at Target yesterday. So bright and colorful! I think it's perfect for your jug and look forward to seeing the finished project.
