Halloween Throwback DIY: Gold Skull

<div style="text-align: center;">I was at Michael's the other day grabbing some watercolour supplies and was happy to spot that this year they restocked the little cardboard skull that I used for my <a href="http://tiffanyleighinteriordesign.blogspot.ca/2012/09/diy-gold-skull.html"><span style="color: #ea9999;">gold skull DIY</span></a> last year.<br />This skully used to be a permanent figure on my coffee table, adding the perfect amount of edge to an otherwise pretty space. The zebra has since taken over, but I brought this guy back out for some Halloween fun!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgubN9EhpIiYHfEvsof9gclJStbudMt6yjGsfKWsKIuf3PD4F5PuSB31QPfu_ght2KvxPBl8Nr2vWGVOhBnWI5HSLw41Q6OwDTV6aYpKK5wdoZ3qbm3u8g6_ZEIUEroc_Ciet7bvxaCkTY/s1600/005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgubN9EhpIiYHfEvsof9gclJStbudMt6yjGsfKWsKIuf3PD4F5PuSB31QPfu_ght2KvxPBl8Nr2vWGVOhBnWI5HSLw41Q6OwDTV6aYpKK5wdoZ3qbm3u8g6_ZEIUEroc_Ciet7bvxaCkTY/s640/005.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEGawH1hkZHwklXFYYO1TmGACVgGkdeWQIFXj4RJP_kQp5GdYRe1x3hSIC9t1Mc8UsnvGPwCb3Vhb1xSRz2NedKXPNTeuLUrISE4YI-lyLyK2aicBGh1ow28pGmPOOnEutefnhBEnTmFI/s1600/004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="456" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEGawH1hkZHwklXFYYO1TmGACVgGkdeWQIFXj4RJP_kQp5GdYRe1x3hSIC9t1Mc8UsnvGPwCb3Vhb1xSRz2NedKXPNTeuLUrISE4YI-lyLyK2aicBGh1ow28pGmPOOnEutefnhBEnTmFI/s640/004.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieZupLqZ7hK0gHGFbsSYEJGnbDAvAT-M4rEivLdWW3pGQnstET6ZHVxaGJoPeGiOhk8NUWgsK6tHC1N_eLYazde7JQHtSrRE-QRlkNtKk8w7Tmdc46l0SvkfXH2lm-s1zXrWcZG-HGoQY/s1600/009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieZupLqZ7hK0gHGFbsSYEJGnbDAvAT-M4rEivLdWW3pGQnstET6ZHVxaGJoPeGiOhk8NUWgsK6tHC1N_eLYazde7JQHtSrRE-QRlkNtKk8w7Tmdc46l0SvkfXH2lm-s1zXrWcZG-HGoQY/s640/009.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEircMZu3-EqRaCE4qEwwdhAwP2Hat_ZTnslbz9PrsYQxoPecdL2C0X0w1EwgZuFn3NyQ4sJdwLUjL1FG4EL_vIwcEwtoyxTDkmwOghkg5kg8mpSpRHyB_14Zmc_7PClBjZLRsMGu-5zB0M/s1600/012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEircMZu3-EqRaCE4qEwwdhAwP2Hat_ZTnslbz9PrsYQxoPecdL2C0X0w1EwgZuFn3NyQ4sJdwLUjL1FG4EL_vIwcEwtoyxTDkmwOghkg5kg8mpSpRHyB_14Zmc_7PClBjZLRsMGu-5zB0M/s640/012.JPG" width="522" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5TL8x4pWXepR7EmW__mymdxXcY9QZ8VS0Tt9jNSt77OmZsc4ixYc3DO2TBxcmh7FhyAGZbN2o1VG6K2VPuJi_3cSMZX_K9o8yBJZwGaqcddEh0W_1IivzyOqWMcv5D3AgEXrqsnwJ3nU/s1600/011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5TL8x4pWXepR7EmW__mymdxXcY9QZ8VS0Tt9jNSt77OmZsc4ixYc3DO2TBxcmh7FhyAGZbN2o1VG6K2VPuJi_3cSMZX_K9o8yBJZwGaqcddEh0W_1IivzyOqWMcv5D3AgEXrqsnwJ3nU/s640/011.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Pretty glamorous for a dead guy, right?

DIY: Gold Skull

<div style="text-align: center;">What a weekend that was my loves! But I am officially moved in to my new place in TORONTO.
