Guest Kathy Cano-Murillo explains the meaning of Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and how this traditional Mexican holiday is celebrated. Kathy explains the importance of having an altar to honor the dead and demonstrates how to make one out of a decorated cigar box, embellished with candles, photos, and other mementos. Kathy whips up a felt banner, some white-chocolate sugar skulls, and folds up tissue paper into festive flowers.

Guest Kathy Cano Murillo turns a plain old TV tray and silverware drawer into a colorful table collage featuring a splash of Latin art and culture. Next, Kathy takes an unadorned lamp and camps it up rumba-girl style using fruit and lots of glitz. Then, Kathy takes brightly colored crepe paper and fashions it into a lush topiary guaranteed to brighten up any fiesta.
