Halloween Craft *Glitter Skull*

I went to Dollar Tree and found a really awful plastic skull and had the idea to cover it in glitter. So I bought it but it took me forever to find black glitter for some reason. Today I finally found some and even better it was on sale for like $2. I also saw a post on home-made Mod Podge so I thought what the hell I'll try it, all it is the equal parts Elmer's Glue and water and it actually works pretty good. This is how it turned out.
 
I love it so much!

The first thing I did was paint the skull with black craft paint in case the glitter missed so spots it wouldn't be too noticeable. After the first layer dried I did another coat of paint to make it sticky so the glitter would stick. Once the glitter was on and dry I went back and added more where it needed it. Then I painted on the home-made Mod Podge and let it dry completely. 

It was so cheap and easy to do and now I'm totally obsessed with it. I feel like he needs a name but I have no idea what it should be. Any suggestions?
