Wow, Nora! That’s an idea! I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. My son works with concrete. I will run this past him and let you know. Thank you!

Question did you ever try to make the eyes hollow so the flames would come through the eyes? Would it work to put rolled up cardboard from the eye holes through the skull from the base of it, the cardboard would burn off leaving holes for the flames? I’ve never worked with that cement but I was just curious?

I know, Joni! They make an interesting addition to the fire pit on Halloween. My daughter borrowed them for a Viking party. You can imagine that they would also be great for a pirate party! Thanks for visiting and commenting!

Andrea, these will last forever! We use the skulls every year on Halloween. I loaned mine to my daughter for a Viking party this year. Just be sure you use the casting refractory cement! There’s a link in the post. I store them in a Rubbermaid bin in the garage. They are way cool! This is one of my favorite projects. Thanks for visiting the website!

Are they strong enough to get more than one party worth of entertainment? Do they last a few burns worth? I’m trying to decide if they are worth the time and effort? Thank you for sharing this… way cool

Yes, Tara. The first year, I made 4 of the skulls. Then, the next year, two more. There was enough cement mix for 6 in total. You need one of the skulls for each pour. In order to release the cement skull, you’ll destroy the plastic mold.
Good luck! This is one of my favorite projects!

Did you still have mix left after making those 4 and just needed more molds to make more?
