Day of dead stencil (coaster size)

A quirky little skull based on the day of the dead festival aesthetic from Mexico.
This model is flat and designed as a stencil or a coaster but it could also be stuck to a wall for a spooky halloween decoration.

Can be used as a coaster if just printed flat (designed to be the right size for mugs and glasses).
Can also be used for a halloween decoration or for the base of a 3D pen project.

Print in a bigger scale to produce placemats!

To create the 3D pen project pictured follow the steps:
1) Print the object (if you want to create the illusion use black or a dark colour).

2) Add colour and detail to the print with a 3D pen to produce a more festival inspired look. You can also add depth to the print with this method. Add colour in the gaps and build up the eyes to create an eye-popping effect! (You need to build up the eyes a fair bit to create the illusion). You could stop here for a cool decoration in itself.

3) Print the object again in white or another lighter colour.

4) Join the two parts together to create the illusion (with a 3D pen) a bigger separation will make the illusion more obvious.

Print at a bigger scale to really exaggerate the detail and make pushing plastic into the gaps easier.
