Deluxe Day of the Dead Headband

Product Information

A special flower crown or hair garland that you have crafted yourself is perfect for any Day of the Dead, a party or any other occasion, or for no particular reason at all, when a flower hair accessory would be fun to wear. Day of the Dead (Dia De Los Muertos) is a two-day Mexican holiday in November that reunites the living and dead. Colorful Papel Picado is often displayed on Día de Los Muertos altars! This one is especially simple because there is no need to cut the insides, it looks like it’s cut like regular Papel Picado and so is really easy to practice scissor skills with young kids! Several different types of flowers can be used to create a floral crown. Many of the premade hair garlands are done with roses, but for the day of the dead versions, flor de muertos or marigolds ( cempasúchil) or chrysanthemums (mums) are commonly used. Choose a color scheme for the overall look of your custom creation. We have examples of cheerful celebration, modern pastels and somber melancholy. Another benefit of the temporary tattoos? They don't come off if you're all sweaty from dancing the night away like I was. How to Make Day of the Dead Flower Headpiece with Veil:
