Begin by dipping your thumb into white paint. Press it onto the black paper to craft the head of the skeleton. Allow the paint to dry thoroughly. Repeat until you have the number of skeleton heads you wish.

While the paint dries you can start snipping the q-tips into segments. These will be the bones of your skeletons.

Add a dab of glue to the back of each and press them to the thumbprints as shown to create the body of the skeletons. You will need about 5 pieces for each body you wish to make.

Once the bodies are assembled, you can craft the faces of your skeletons. Use a marker to add a simple set of eyes and mouth.

Your thumbprint skeletons are now ready to be displayed.
