Mini Coffins by Kim C

This week I have decorated these really cute mini coffins. They are so easy to assemble and make cute decorations or even treat holders. I assembled the coffins first then added my pattern paper to each one. The edges were inked and gesso was added for a distress look. I then added my decorations.

On this little coffin I used one of the skeleton pieces. I painted it with gesso and then inked it with black ink. I added some cheesecloth under the skeleton and used a piece of the pattern paper to make the banner.

I added items from the paper collection and some orange and black flowers to this one. I layered some cheese cloth under the bat and the little embellishment piece.

These were really super fast to put together. I think I will use these to hold some special treats!! Thanks for stopping! Kim :)

September Challenge

Hello everyone and welcome
to September. Gina here to share a Halloween project for the monthly
challenge on our Facebook group. The challenge this month is a
Fall/Halloween/Thanksgiving inspired project. I decided to play with
some of the new Coffin Boxes. These boxes are perfect for creating a
centerpiece, gift box or treat box.

I papered my box using the
Halloween line from Momenta. I applied the paper as I assembled the
box, making sure to allow for the folds. Once complete, I decorated
the box with bits and pieces from my stash. I printed the label for
my bottle and applied using glossy accents. I covered my cat with
felt for a furry look. I papered one of the mini coffins. To
decorate it, I painted the small skeleton from the Skeleton Set and
added a little Stickles. The other mini coffin I left bare.
