Sugar Skull Henna for Dia de Los Muertos
Dia de Los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a cherished Mexican holiday to remember and celebrate the lives of loved ones who have passed. It’s a time to come together with family and friends, honoring the memories and joy those who came before us shared.
One of the most recognizable symbols of Dia de Los Muertos is the vibrant sugar skull, often decorated with colorful designs representing life and love. In the world of henna, sugar skulls have inspired beautiful adaptations—mixing traditional henna elements like paisleys, swirls, and floral patterns with the iconic skull shape. This style brings the spirit of remembrance into henna art, creating a unique way to honor the holiday.
