How to make sugar skull bead bracelets
Decorate your beads with the super glue and crystals. Let dry.
Cut a strand of the cording, about 8-10.”
Stretch it so it glides easily through the hole in the beads.
String your beads.
When finished, tie six knots in the cording, trim excess and tuck the remaining knot tails inside the holes of the beads.
Thank you bundles to Tarina for being so gracious and allowing me to interview her – and for shooting this video with me. My life is complete, I tell you!
Don’t you love the bracelets she made?
About Dia de Los Muertos
This is a 3,000 year-old tradition from Mexico where we honor our loved ones who have passed on. The overall spirit is celebrating the cycle of life. An ofrenda is set up in the home or graveyard and lined with fresh marigolds, sugar skulls, copal and small items representing the soul who passed.
