Easy Origami Skull Memento Mori

Happy Halloween! In today’s tutorial, you will learn how to fold a simple origami skull memento mori for All Souls’ Day. Memento mori is Latin for “Remember you will die.” It’s meant to be a visual reminder of our mortality and isn’t meant to be a morbid thing. The skull can be simple black and white, or you can decorate it for Dia de los Muertos.
