8. Dimensional Paper Skulls
Celebrate the Day of the Dead or classic gothic horror with geometric, low-poly paper skulls. Using cardstock in stark white, metallic gold, or charcoal gray, you can assemble a striking three-dimensional skull using printable templates that require folding and gluing numbered tabs. The clean, modern facets of these paper sculptures look like high-end designer decor. For a festive touch, you can hand-paint intricate floral designs, sugar skull motifs, or metallic gold filigree onto the forehead and cheekbones. Display them under glass cloches or nestle them among dark floral arrangements for a sophisticated, artistic centerpiece.
