Make Day Of The Dead Jewelry With Our Dia De Los Muertos Bead Mix

On Free Spirit Beading with Kristen Fagan, I made a colorful Day of the Dead necklace and two different earring designs. I used black beads, .019 Soft Flex Beading Wire in Black Onyx color, 22ga Soft Flex Silver Plated Craft Wire in gold color, and our exclusive Dia De Los Muertos Bead Mix.

Day of the Dead (Dia De Los Muertos) is a two day holiday that reunites the living and dead. Families create offerings to honor their departed family members that have passed. These altars are decorated with bright yellow marigold flowers, photos of the departed, and the favorite foods and drinks of the one being honored. The offerings are believed to encourage visits from the land of the dead as the departed souls hear their prayers, smell their foods and join in the celebrations!
