Sugar Skull Face:

Floral Headband:
Crochet small flowers using pink, purple, and green yarn. Attach the flowers on the top of the sugar skull design, forming a crown. Embroider additional details using contrasting yarn.
Finishing the Purse:
Attach the purse to the metallic clasp frame using a whipstitch with yarn or a strong sewing thread. Make sure the purse is securely attached to the frame.
Final Embellishments:
Sew beads and pearls around the skull for extra decoration. You can secure them with fabric glue for added stability.
