DIY Rainbow Unicorn Skeleton

Not all Halloween decorations need to be scary! Paint the unicorn skeleton in a fun rainbow pattern to make this a Halloween decoration kids will love (and the unicorn loving adult too!). Start with an assortment of colored acrylic paint in an array of rainbow colors and paint the ribs, tail, spine, horn, in rainbow order on each rib or vertebrae. Don’t forget to paint the hooves too! Add a fun flower garland to the unicorn’s head by cutting apart the flower garland and accordion fold each of the petals. Hot glue the completed garland to the unicorn’s head and add a couple fun large spiders. Put your rainbow unicorn on display for all to adore!

Yo ho! Add some spookiness from the sea to your Halloween this year with a lovely Mermaid Skeleton and her scurvy Pirate Skeleton mate. Pastel spray paint and glitter transform a Shell Bra, Pearl Bead Necklace, and Starfish into sparkly accessories for this high maintenance sea creature.  Her matey, decked out in his Pirate Shirt, Eyepatch, and Hat, is just happy counting his stolen Gold Coins and bagging them up in his skull and crossbones treasure bags.
