Take a small plastic skeleton and cut off its legs.Weave it in and around parts of the gate. Cut out the Sizzix Twisted thinlits die and cut it into pieces. Next, take a piece of Tim Holtz Kraft Stock Blackout cardstock and sand it lightly.Apply a bit of collage medium on the bottom part of the gate to adhere it to the coffin to set it in place. Apply a Tim Holtz Metal Gate Idea-ology piece to the back of the coffin and slide down until it won’t go any further.Immediately, apply a coat to the top of the pieces as well after placing them down. Apply Ranger collage medium to the bottom half of the coffin and place a couple pieces of Tim Holtz Idea-ology Halloween Layers over the collage medium.Continue this same step until all the edges of the coffin are covered.Ĭreating the Pieces on the Bottom of the Coffin.After laying down the trim tape, apply a coat of collage medium over top to seal it. Working in sections, apply collage medium along the edges of the coffin and immediately apply trim tape.When the paint is completely dry, rub over the raised areas with Prima Old Silver metallique wax.Paint over the stencil with Distress Black Soot paint and also paint the back of the coffin.

Do not apply to the bottom of the coffin. Using Distress matte texture paste, apply the Tim Holtz Flames (THS091) stencil to the sides and top of the coffin.Complete this same process with the bottom half of the coffin and all the inside sides of the coffin. I start with the back of the coffin and apply collage medium to the top half of the coffin, lay the coordinating cardstock piece down and apply more collage medium over top. When all the pieces are cut to size, apply one section at a time.Measure each of the openings and sides of the coffin and cut them out of Tim Holtz Idea-ology wallpaper of your choice.If you think about it as a whole and all that needs to be done, it would seem too daunting to create but break it down into steps and, well, you’ll see what I mean……. By taking projects like this and breaking them down into steps makes them completely manageable and will keep your head from exploding. Sometimes when I see projects like this, I think, “I don’t have time for that, it looks so time consuming” and even though it may look complicated to make, it’s really not.

My first project is a creepy Halloween scene inside Skully’s coffin.
