I've added the coffin template for you to print out, cut out, and trace onto your black craft paper. You can resize it to make them smaller or larger. I used mini candy skulls from the dollar shop as decor on the coffin. You can find them in the Halloween section.

Total Time: 45 minutes

Supplies:

  1. Cut out the coffin template and trace it onto the black craft paper with a pencil. Draw the fold lines just like they are on the template.
