Paper Coffin Treat Boxes - open coffin with candy and other Halloween decorationsYou can make these cute little coffins out of craft paper and decorate them how you please. I fill them up with candy to hand out to my friends for Halloween. Trick or treat at any age!

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:

  • coffin template print out
  • craft paper (black, white, patterned)
  • pencil
  • scissors
  • bonefolder
  • thin double-sided tape (like Tear Tape)
  • pen
  • mini skulls

  2. Cut out the 2 coffin pieces.

  7. Cut out a strip of patterned paper and place on the coffin lid. Cut to size, then stick on with tape.

  8. Cut out a thinner strip of white craft paper to place on the patterned piece. I like to fold the edge over to make a cutting guide.

  9. Write your message or name on the white paper, then tape onto the patterned paper.
