Dia de los Muertos 2016
One of my favorite tables to design is the Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) table. I'm in love with beautifully decorated sugar skulls. I started with painted plates a few years ago and I continue to add items each year. This year I added hand painted sugar skull coasters and skull napkin rings. I also picked up a couple set of salt & pepper shakers and made sugar skull print fabric charger plate covers.

| I love the sugar skull napkins rings I made for this season. I spray painted skulls I found at Walmart and hand painted with Sharpies. |

| I hand painted ceramic tiles to use as coasters. They are painted with Sharpies and then baked at 250 degrees for two hours. This method seems to work best for me and the color stays true at a lower temp. |

Thank you Linda! I'm in love with sugar skulls. I ran out of time to complete the wine glasses. Not enough time in the day for work, crafting and tablescaping. Happy Halloween!
