Skeleton & Skull Friends

Using a 12 inch skeleton purchased at a dollar store and a styrofoam skull from a craft store, create dressed up friends to sit atop tables or on a shelf. I made a fancy top hat for the skull embellishing a small top hat purchased at a costume shop. My dressed up lady's outfit was created using scrap fabric. I used a half inch slice of a toilet paper roll covered with a circular black velvet scrap to create the hat. The beads on the hat are actually sewing pins, which I used to secure the fabric to the slice of cardboard.
