DIY Skull Bracelets & Necklaces

DIY Skull Bracelets & Necklaces are a spooky-fun jewelry craft that lets kids string skull beads and black pony beads into wearable accessories for Halloween, Day of the Dead, and themed craft days.

Create Spooky Jewelry For Halloween And Day of the Dead

This kit is the perfect mix of creepy and creative. Kids string skull beads and black pony beads onto elastic cord to make bracelets and necklaces that look bold, themed, and totally wearable. It is fun, fast, and gives that satisfying “I made this” moment the second the bracelet goes on.

With enough materials to make 54 bracelets or 20 necklaces, this set is excellent for classrooms, party stations, Halloween events, and group programs that need a high-yield craft that still feels special for each child.

It is also a great Day of the Dead craft because the skull theme ties beautifully into celebration, tradition, and creative expression. Kids can keep it simple with clean black-and-white style, or go wild with patterns and personal flair.
