Hanging Skeletal Frame

The vision I had in my head when creating this was the scene from the movie, "The Mummy Returns" (love these kinds of movies) where our heroes finds the oasis where the Scorpion King lies, and they are being chased by the natives that live there, who are these shriveled up little skeleton creatures. They look really creepy and they make these soft screechy sounds, and they are super fast! So imagine the terror of being chased by 50 of these little things.

I wanted this frame to have that same chilling effect. As if the creator was a crazy voodoo practitioner that has gone over the edge of no returns, and these poor hanging skeletons are her victims where she likes to frame them up on display. 

Here is a break down of the Materials used and estimated prices. Remember you can always substitute with things you already have, and stuff like glue and other crafting tools, most already have in their house hold, but I will put up the estimated prices for those too, just in case you really don't have any of these things!
