Mod podge a ceramic skeleton head {Halloween decor}

By Debbiedoo's Team Published: Oct 10, 2013 · Modified: Feb 4, 2025

 Hi there folks!

Today, I am sharing how to Mod podge a ceramic skeleton head.

I bought the skeleton head at Michaels and while I was there I noticed this cool

Halloween special mod podge paper.

I thought hmmmm…

I have a plan for this head.

He is actually pretty cool plain too.

But nawwww…why be plain when you don’t have to be.

I trimmed up the paper in all different sizes first.

Then I applied the mod podge in sections of the skull.

I also applied mod podge to the back of the pieces of cut paper as I went along.

I used a satin mod podge for this one.

I also smoothed out most of the crinkles with my finger.

My fingers had a skin peel when done, lol.

I love Halloween decorating and have a few upcoming things to share you may like.

Last year I had fun as well and I try to switch up from year to year.

Spooky gothic mantel

and I love a good  Spooky tablescape.  Hopefully I can create one this year as well.

As you can see I love a good skull!

Here are some upcoming Halloween ideas for you I will be sharing here shortly.

I can only give you a peek in the meantime.

    I love this ceramic skeleton! I don’t know about the fake rats, though. They just might be too real for me in New York.
