The Day of the Dead, or Día de los Muertos, is a vibrant celebration of life, remembrance, and creativity. Inspired by the stunning sugar skulls synonymous with this tradition, we took a plain Aquacast mould and gave it a colourful, skull-tastic transformation!
In this project, we combined bold patterns, intricate details, and bright colours to capture the spirit of the Day of the Dead. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just looking for some festive inspiration, this makeover showcases the magic of turning simple materials into a piece bursting with personality and cultural flair.
