💀Day of the Dead DIY!


Hi Reader,

ay of the Dead, or Día de los Muertos, is a beautiful and meaningful Mexican tradition. It is a multi-day holiday held from November 1-2 and is a period when family and friends gather to celebrate their loved ones who have passed.

Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is more than just a holiday—it’s a soulful and joyful tribute to loved ones who have passed on. Celebrated from November 1st to 2nd, this cherished Mexican tradition brings families and communities together to honor ancestors with colorful decor, fragrant flowers, glowing candles, and offerings that reflect a loved one’s life and legacy.

Whether you grew up celebrating or are embracing it for the first time, creating Day of the Dead decorations is a powerful way to celebrate the cycle of life with beauty, remembrance, and artful intention.

I wanted to do something to celebrate this beautiful tradition, so in this DIY tutorial video I created a fun way to decorate your home for the Day of the Dead. I used traditional Day of the Dead decorations such as candles, marigold florals, decorative figurines and other beautiful elements the bring the holiday to life.
