lol ok! 8)

materials:

ashtray
your average saucer/plate (got mine straight from the kitchen cabinet)
hot glue
skulls (these came from old halloween light decorations)
stick of incense (or something that you can poke appropriate incense stick-sized holes with)

how to!:

1. since the skulls i used were old halloween lights, they had holes at the tops. basically you hot-glue the holes closed, i did this slowly and actually burned myself trying to keep the hot glue in check. there is probably a better way to do this, actually. once the glue is dry (let it set for awhile), i poked holes in the top of them with incense sticks.

2. balance the skulls on top of the ashtray. hot glue them.

3. hot glue the ashtray to the saucer. my saucer just happened to have an awesome design on it, there is actually a frolicking reindeer in the middle of it if you look carefully, ha.

hopefully this is helpful, if you have any questions i will be glad to answer them, as i'm not the best at explaining things :)
