DIA DE LOS MUERTOS SKULL PUMPKIN STENCIL HOW TO
Here’s full tutorial showing how to carve a foam pumpkin. Then use a kitchen knife, linoleum cutters, or an official pumpkin carving kit to detail your work of art. Once you have your outline, you can use a sharpie or a ballpoint pen to trace the tack marks. Just push the tack through the paper following the grey edges. The grey is what will be carried, so outline the edges using a thumbtack. I like using blue tape.īut first, I find it also helps bend the paper around the pumpkin more easily if you make small tears in the corners. Simply tape the paper to the side of the pumpkin. Press print, then your printer dialog box will pop up, and depending on the brand of printer, there will be a box that says “scale.” You can increase or decrease this to the proper size.Īfter you have your printout, you’re ready to carve your pumpkin. This is very easy to do.įor instance, if you have a small pumpkin, you will probably need to reduce the size to 70-90%. Now it’s best to have already chosen your pumpkin before you print because you may need to scale the design to fit the size of your pumpkin.

DIA DE LOS MUERTOS SKULL PUMPKIN STENCIL MOVIE
And of course the animated movie Coco, is all about Día de Los Muertos, bringing the holiday further into the mainstream. The tourist board used the film props and costumes left by the studio to throw the first official parade! Art imitating life, life imitating art.
The holiday in pop culture.Ī funny fact I came across recently is that the first ever Día de Los Muertos parade was held in the capitol Mexico City in 2016, after the James Bond film Spectre opened with a fictional, massive Day of the Dead parade and festival in the main square. So that explains why she wouldn’t have grown up with it and part of why I learned about it later. My grandmother’s family moved to the US before the 1920s and they moved from an area that didn’t historically celebrate it. The holiday seems to have been regionally celebrated in some states and not made a national holiday in Mexico until the 1960s. There was of course Cinco de Mayo, Mexican Independence, Las Posadas, feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I thought I knew a lot about my Mexican heritage and the associated holidays. She simply said it wasn’t something she grew up with. She helped raise me and she had never mentioned this holiday. I remember asking my grandmother, who is first generation Mexican American, about the holiday. We had an assignment to create an ofrenda, or altar dedicated to a passed loved one.
I had never heard of this holiday until Spanish class in either middle school or high school (I can’t remember!).
Hence it is celebrated on November 1st and 2nd. Originally celebrated sometime in August by Aztecs, the arrival of Spaniards and Catholic indoctrination merged the dates with All Saints Day and All Souls Days. It is actually the celebration of loved ones who have passed away. The holiday isn’t meant to be spooky, scary or gory. It is a Mexican holiday that means Day of the Dead in English. What is Día de Los Muertos you might ask? Marigolds are the traditional Día de Los Muertos flower, but I improvised with other flowers. I thought this would be the perfect time to share a Día de Los Muertos craft! It’s actually a fusion craft because I use pumpkins, which is a tradition of American Fall holidays. Looking to add more festivities to your Fall? This easy Día de Los Muertos pumpkin stencil craft is fun for both adults and kids.Īs you may or may not know, September 15 to October 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month in the US.
