How To Make A Mari Lwyd Horse Skull Out Of EVA Foam - Free Template - Welsh Christmas Tradition

SKS Props walks through the full construction of a Mari Lwyd horse skull — a prop rooted in Welsh holiday folklore — entirely from HD EVA foam using a free downloadable template. The build is notably lightweight, making it practical to carry or wear during the traditional door-to-door rhyming challenge. A pull-string mechanism is incorporated to open and close the jaw, elevating it from static prop to interactive puppet. The finished skull is decorated with ears, ornaments, ribbons, and bells in keeping with the authentic tradition.
