DIY: Spooky Coffins

 photo PageTitleDivider_zps99fb0b25.png
One of our favorite parts in “Brewing Wickedness” was making DIY Spooky Coffins, and we thought it would be really nice to share it with our readers. Halloween’s already done, but you can always use this for a themed event/parties, or for next Halloween.

We also enjoyed this collaboration with FinePoint Design and Oh! Joy & Co. (page coming soon), and we’re sure there are more projects like this for us to make soon!

 

You will need:

1. Acrylic Paint - We used black, orange, metallic bronze, and silver paint with glitters.

2. Letter Stickers - From Oh! Joy & Co. We used ones with glitters.

3. 3 Little Wooden Coffins - Also from Oh! Joy & Co.

Other materials are: Paint brush, plastic color palette, and a tweezers to hold the stickers later.
And we finally get down to crafting.


First, paint the outside of the coffin black then wait for it to dry.
 

Once it’s dry, using a paint brush, paint the sides and the borders of the inside of the coffin. Remember not to touch the center first because we are painting it with a different color. (Or if that restrains creativity, go ahead and play with how and where you want to apply paint)


Continue painting, and do the same with the other coffins. In the end, it should look like the photo above. Wait for it to dry.


Once it dries up, you can open the coffin again and paint the center orange. Our coffin is starting to look very Halloween-y!

 

 For the next step, you can wait for it to dry up then apply bronze paint or use a different color to mix with orange. This gives our coffin a little texture and an old coffin effect.


For the borders, we mixed black paint with glittered silver paint to give our coffin a little sparkle.
 

Apply to the borders. Yes, it’s like magic. And it matches our stickers too!
 

Now using tweezers, put the stickers inside the coffin to spell “spooky,” or any word you want to put inside. Just put in mind that each coffin can contain two letters.
 

And it’s finally done! Now you’re ready for next Halloween! Don’t forget to bookmark this page , so you don’t miss this post in the future.
