In the movie Coco, the family’s ofrenda is a central point of focus, showing the different family members who had passed on, and honoring them with marigolds, candles and their favorite treats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To create Miguel’s ofrenda, we first created an arch by using a long piece of PVC pipe that we bent and held in place with iron stakes in the ground. We decorated this with purchased strands of marigolds using zip ties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then downloaded pictures of Miguel’s family members, printed them out and put them into frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I created tiered shelves and put them on a table in front of the arch. I covered the table and shelves with a white fabric tarp. I then added the pictures, marigolds, battery-powered light-up candles, real Dia de Los Muertos candles, sugar skulls, apples, shoes and other items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Miguel’s family, we added one additional picture\u2014that of Michelle’s father, John Myers, as a tribute to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, we added a blow-up Miguel and his dog, Dante, to complete the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
