How This Day of the Dead Fabric Art Kit Works

1. Trace: Tape your fabric to a flat surface and place the graphite sheet underneath. Trace the sugar-skull lines with the included marker for clean outlines.

2. Color: Add rich pastel color—petals, scrolls, and hearts. Keep lighter tones near highlights for a luminous look.

3. Resist + Mist: When colors are in place, lightly mist around the skull to let background hues bloom while your inked lines resist and stay crisp.

4. Finish: Air-dry flat. Display as a mini wall hanging, quilt block, or journal insert.

Why You’ll Love This Day of the Dead fabric art kit

• Beginner-friendly: Clear templates remove the guesswork—perfect for first-timers, kids (with supervision), and quick craft nights.

• High-impact color: Oil pastel resist on fabric creates soft, watercolor-style blends with bold line work.

• Make three keepsakes: With three 10×10 squares, experiment with different palettes or craft together with friends.

• Cultural connection: Celebrate the beauty of Día de los Muertos through creative expression and thoughtful decoration.

• Gift-ready: A unique present for art lovers, teachers, and makers.

Creative ideas

• Frame it: Slip the 10×10 into a float frame for instant gallery pop.

• Sew it: Quilt as a centerpiece block or stitch into a tote pocket.

• Journal it: Mount on cardstock as a textural page for memory-keeping.

• Mix-media: Add beads, embroidery, or metallic gel pen accents after it’s dry.

Tips for best results

• Keep mists light—several tiny sprays blend colors without flooding the fabric.

• Test color combos on the practice swatch first.

• Blot edges gently if puddles form; the resist lines will stay sharp.

• Let pieces dry fully before framing or sewing.
