Directions
- Arrange the large Q-tip pieces on the construction paper first, then add the smaller ones. Feel free to experiment with the angles of the bones.
- Put glue directly onto each Q-tip before placing it. Start with the larger bones, then add the smaller ones. Remember that little imperfections give it charm.
- Download and print the free skeleton head and bow template. Color in the bow, then cut both out. Glue the bow onto the head or use it as a necktie.
