If you celebrate the Day of the Dead, this might be the decoration you would like to add to your collection. The black background is a wonderful backdrop for these brightly colored sugar skulls. Colors include turquoise,orange, bright green, green, gray, and pink in their faces. All the ribbons used, as usual in a SooBoo Designs wreath, pick up the colors in the pattern. This handmade sugar skull fabric wreath is beautiful hung on your Fall door, on your wall, above your mantle OR you can use it as a centerpiece by lying it flat on your table or buffet, and centering a glass hurricane (about 5" or 6" diameter) in the center opening of the wreath. Fill the hurricane with anything from glass beads and candles to candies or spooky little gifts. If you enjoy the traditions of Day of the Dead, this wreath is a great idea for you home decor! Here is a description for what one uses this sort of wreath.. “A calavera [plural:calaveras] (Spanish -pronounced [kala??e?a] for "skull") is a representation of a human skull. The term is most often applied to decorative or edible skulls made (usually by hand) from either sugar (called Alfeñiques) or clay which are used in the Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) and the Roman Catholic holiday All Souls' Day. Calavera can also refer to any artistic representations of skulls, such as the lithographs of Jose Guadalupe Posada. The most widely known calaveras are created with cane sugar and are decorated with items such as colored foil, icing, beads, and feathers.” SooBoo Designs wreaths are all handmade. Much time is spent choosing the coordinating fabrics and then cutting, sewing, turning, stuffing and finally, assembly. Each one is like my little child. I love doing these wreaths especially because I know those who choose to purchase from SooBoo Designs will really marvel at how adorable and precious they are when you get to see our items with your very own eyes. Each wreath is lightweight, therefore easy to hang anywhere. Each ribbon is edged with a no fray product ensuring the ends don't get raggedy after a while. They stay clean. Each handmade wreath comes in a cut to size cardboard box which is recommended to keep for storage of your new wreath to keep it fresh when not in use. Size is approximately 16" diameter by 3" depth.
