Hi there paper crafting friends! It’s Michelle Starcher, aka the Bookish Designer, hopping onto the blog to walk you through the steps to create Lori’s 2 Compartment Coffin Treat Box (SVG, Silhouette). This cute box features a handle and 2 compartments. Perfect for housing treats for this Halloween. I used my Silhouette Cameo 4 to cut the pieces for the 2 Compartment Coffin Treat Box. It took four pieces of 12×12 cardstock for the project, three black and one piece of patterned paper. The patterned paper was from Lori’s Halloween Magic collection by Echo Park Paper Co. Once all of the pieces were cut, I inked the edges of the patterned paper using Carved Pumpkin Distress Ink. Next, I used my tape gun to adhere the patterned pieces to the top of the coffin as shown below. Fold tabs in to form the top of the coffin.
Next, I built the two sides of the coffin. First, add adhesive to the tabs, and then folder the tabs in to create half of the coffin.
Once you have both sides of the coffin built, add adhesive to the flat side of one. Line the two pieces up, and adhere them together to form the coffin base. Once that is finished, you will adhere the small black rectangles to the front and back of the coffin to hide the seams.
You can add stickers or other embellishments to the top of the coffin to give it a little more flair. I used stickers from Lori’s Halloween Magic collection. Once you are done decorating, the 2 Compartment Coffin Treat Box is ready to fill up with yummy treats.
Until next time, Michelle, aka the Bookish Designer
