Creating Halloween horror coffin gift boxes can be a thrilling project that adds a spooky touch to your Halloween festivities. Here’s a detailed guide to help you make them:
Black cardstock or construction paper
Scissors
Glue, double-sided tape, or a hot glue gun
Ruler
Pencil
White chalk or a white gel pen
Halloween-themed decorations (e.g., stickers, fake spiders, mini skulls)
Tissue paper (optional, for lining)
Small treats or gifts to fill the boxes
Create a Coffin Template:
Draw a coffin shape on a piece of paper. The shape should have a rectangular middle with angled sides and a pointed top.
You can also find a printable coffin template online and use that.
Cut out the template.
Trace and Cut the Coffin Shapes:
Use the template to trace the coffin shape onto the black cardstock. You will need two pieces for each coffin (one for the base and one for the lid).
Cut out the coffin shapes.
Cut Strips for the Sides:
Cut strips of black cardstock for the sides of the coffin. The width of the strips should be the desired height of your coffin (around 2 inches is standard).
For the lid, the side strips should be slightly narrower (around 1.5 inches) so it fits over the base.
Score and Fold the Strips:
Use a ruler and pencil to lightly score the strips lengthwise to create a fold line.
Fold along the scored lines to create clean edges.
Assemble the Coffin Base:
Apply glue or double-sided tape to the edges of the coffin base.
Attach the side strips to the base, bending them around the corners and securing them in place.
Ensure the sides are securely attached and form a solid box.
Assemble the Coffin Lid:
Repeat the process with the lid, attaching the narrower side strips to the other coffin shape.
Make sure the lid fits snugly over the base.
Decorate the Coffin:
Use white chalk or a white gel pen to draw spooky designs on the coffin lid, such as crosses, skulls, or spider webs.
Add Halloween-themed stickers or decorations for extra horror.
Line the Inside (Optional):
Line the inside of the coffin with red or black tissue paper for a more polished look.
Fill the Coffin:
Place small treats, gifts, or toys inside the coffin.
Close the Coffin:
Place the lid on top of the coffin base. You can secure it with a piece of tape or a small dab of glue if needed.
Graveyard Theme: Add small tombstones, mini skeletons, or moss around the coffin.
Gothic Theme: Use lace, black roses, or ornate stickers to give the coffin an elegant yet eerie look.
Classic Halloween: Decorate with pumpkins, bats, or witches for a traditional Halloween vibe.
