How to Make This Skeleton Craft
Download and print the skull toilet tube template.
Cut the pieces out and set aside. Be mindful to cut the eyes with care.
Cut a piece of black (feel free to make the skull background any color you’d like) paper the size of the tube that you are using. The easiest way is to wrap the paper around the tube, hold in place with a bit of tape on the back and then trim the excess from the top.
You may adhere the paper with more tape at the back or remove the tape and glue the paper to the tube.
Glue the features onto the skull. Use a pen or marker to draw teeth onto the mouth.
