15. Dancing Paper Skeletons

15


Bring some playful, retro charm to your walls with articulated paper skeletons. Cut out the individual bones—skull, ribcage, pelvis, and limbs—from heavy off-white cardstock, and lightly sponge the edges with brown ink to give them an aged, bone-like appearance. Connect the joints using metal brads or paper fasteners, allowing the arms, legs, and spine to move freely. You can pose these skeletons in hilarious dancing positions, climbing up bookshelves, or hanging from doorknobs. It is a classic, interactive craft that brings a lighthearted, festive energy to your Halloween decorating.
