{ De Colores }

Yes, I know it's over. But, I am still playing catch up on my photos of the Dia de los Muertos masks my daughter and I made. I love all the colors and the flowers involved with this celebration and it makes me think of the song De Colores which my parents often played when I was growing up.

We painted the masks white and then added lots of color, gems, and flowers to make them look very Dia de los Muertos style.

For the month of October, we set up a fun colorful Dia de los Muertos table. 

In addition to the masks, we made Dia de los Muertos coffins which we decorated with flowers and glitter and of course lots of colorful paints. Saylor used her imagination and wrote things like, "Flora Chiquita" and "Beautiful Soul" on the coffins.

{ Crafting for Dia de Los Muertos }

Got Flowers? Sure do! Used lots of them for our Dia de los Muertos masks which we painted and decorated.

I love these jars of colorful flowers. I found them at 

Michaels craft store. 

Lots of skeleton masks waiting for me and my daughter to paint them and jazz them up into Dia de Los Muertos masks.

Cracking up at a joke I made. Yes, she thinks her Mommy is funny.

We made masks all afternoon and although the sun was out, we were quite chilled and should have worn sweaters. But, despite the aprons, we still had a great deal of paint and glitter all over us and sweaters would have been ruined. I hope a cold and fever do not arrive in a few days. If so, I know she will be happy to stay home and get crafty all over again.
