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

How to make a Mari Lwyd Horse skull our of eva foam. Mari Lwyd is a Welsh Christmas tradition where crafters decorate a horse skull with ears, ribbons, ornaments, and bells. The character would then go door to door and challenge people to rhyming games. This is a project that I started last year and ran out of time but I wanted to make sure to complete it before the holidays. The skull is made out of HD-Foam so it is extremely light weight perfect to carry around. I even added a pull string to open and close the mouth. Have fun!

People keep asking about pronunciation and I've seen it two ways.

The pronunciation of "Mari Lwyd" is approximately:
Welsh: ma.ri ˈlʊi̯d = Mah-ree Loo-id and English: Mary Lloyd (rhymes with void).
Both are correct. Or get drunk with your horse skull and pronounce it however you want! Ha!!

Here are some experts taking about this awesome tradition:
