Let’s grab your supplies, channel your inner artist, and let get crafting!
Step 1: Applying the Paint
Apply a layer of black apple barrel paint inside and outside of the coffin.
Once you get to the lid, you will just paint the sides and the inside of it black as well.
I wanted to give the top of the coffin more dimension. I applied a purple color down on the surface of the coffin lid. Once this dried completely, i then applied a thin layer of crackle medium.
I let that set and dry for a good hour. Came back and applied a thin coat of black paint onto. Here is where the magic was suppose to happen. 😝 … The crackling did have an affect but not as much as i would of liked. With this i came in with a baby wipe to help wipe up some black to really have some purple shine through.
Step 2: Add the Decorations
I found a great size dollhouse picture frame to add on top of the coffin lid to really add that spooktacular effect to this craft. The gold was a little much, so i came in with a small amount of black and added a very thin layer. Enough to really just cover the surface.
Once this was dry, i came in with a multi surface glue and hot glue gun to adhere this in the top center of the coffin.
Step 3: Make the webbing
This is where the fun came in. I really was having a hard to time finding accessories that would bring this piece together besides the bats.
Looked around and found a dry piece of baby wipe next to me. I started pulling it apart, and just like that i had my spider webs! It worked wonders!!
I placed my webbing in the areas I desired. Took mod podge and was able to glue them into place!
