Sugar Skull Beading Pattern PDF: "Sparkly Sugar Skull Collection" Design

These sophisticated Sparkly Sugar Skulls can be easily dressed up or down and would make a great accessory throughout fall. These sugar skulls have a somewhat more traditional skeleton look, but we added fun gold or silver accents to fancy it up quite a bit and make it perfect for your Day of the Dead and/or Halloween festivities.

This design can be made up in either size 15/0s or 11/0s - the choice is yours. When made up in size 15/0s seed beads, the Sparkly Sugar Skulls measure just over 0.75” (20 mm) wide and 1.25” (32 mm) tall - not counting the jump ring or earwire. When made up in size 11/0s, they measure just over 1” (29 mm) wide and 1.75” (43 mm) tall.

This simple beading pattern includes a detailed materials page, color information, a word chart and bead graph, over 100 high-resolution full-color photos, and easy-to-follow step-by-step directions. And, while shaped peyote is typically a bit challenging, don’t be scared to try this one. We show you how to stitch up every row and do every turnaround - making this project suitable for beaders of all skill levels - including absolute beginners.

You'll have fun stitching up these Sparkly Sugar Skulls that you’ll be able to wear and enjoy year after year. Here’s to remembering our loved ones with a joyful heart and, as always, beading happy!
