Have you asked yourself why coffins are featured when it’s Halloween?
I believe on a lighter note, they make very good containers, but on a smaller scale as coffin treat boxes! Don’t you think?
Keeping with the Halloween theme, could it be that they are used in this way because coffins have dark or grim innuendoes, like what lies within? (in this case full of yummy treats!)
So they are a perfect example of making something grim, but fun using the coffin as a vessel to hold your treats in, either for trick-or-treating or just as a giveaway box!
What my intentions are!
Having dived into my recycle bag I came across a box that I had saved which contained a sink tap, funnily enough, this packaging resembled a coffin shape.
I thought one day this would come in handy, but I am not sure yet how to use it.
Well I thought, it’s nearly Halloween again, when all the scary ghoulish creatures, stories, fancy dress parties, or trick-or-treaters emerge!
what better way to use this exciting box and yes you’ve guessed it up-cycle it to look more like a ‘coffin’ but in this instance one of the ‘Halloween coffin treat box ideas!’
This is an unusual type of packaging and not everyone will have one like this, but it was an opportunity to show you how to up it a bit and give it a very spooky feel!
Having thought about it, other types of containers could also make good treat boxes, using the Halloween theme.
So I will dip into that too later.
We know that Halloween features:-
Ghosts, ghouls, witches, werewolves, vampires, mummies, zombies, spiders, cobwebs and not forgetting trick-or-treaters, but where do coffins come into all this?
Hey,
I LOVE this article and your website.
My niece and nephew are going to love going through this post before Halloween and working on their coffins and caskets.
I am going to share this with my sister-in-law first and encourage her to go through this with my niece and nephew. They are going to have such a great time.
Looking at your other articles too, you have some amazing ideas that will help educate and make kids happy. I LOVE them.
Keep up the amazing work you are doing.
All the best,
Tom
Hi Tom, your feedback is so inspirational, this is exactly how I want visitors to my
website to react!!! and the fact that you want to share this Halloween article, with your
niece and nephew is even better! I am also glad you had a peep at all my other articles and they got your
tick of approval! super stuff.
Thanks a bunch Tom, and happy Halloween!
I honestly like your website so much as I think the text you used is so fitting. In fact, if you don’t mind can you actually let me know what text you used for the part at the very top of this article above the heading that says: “What my intentions are”. That will be much appreciated!
Such cool ideas here for Halloween.
Hey Schalk, yes of course when I chose my theme for my website, this was the
style, design, and fonts they use, I love it as it kind of compliments and works
well with the children’s themes, I write about, it has that informal feel and fun look.
So the name is ‘Architects daughter’
At first, I thought it was a kind of ‘Scribble’ font, but yeah it’s quite cool.
Also, this font automatically comes up when I choose different size headings.
Hope that helps and feel free to ask anything else😀
These seem so easy and fun there are tons of coffin shaped boxes. You have great ideas on how to decorate the coffin and what part we like is what we are going to be filling our box with.
In the article we like how you put all the things in between, such as what vampires sleep in.
We are going to pass this article on to my brother so that he can do this project with his kids.
Cheers,
MnD
That sounds great Mathew, love it when I can inspire kids as well as big kids,
like the adults to do some easy crafting and the best thing is that you are thinking about
recycling your throw-outs! So no real cost to you and you are up-cycling something ordinary
into something fun and in this case spoooooky!!! great for Halloween!
So happy you are passing this on to your brother and his kids, they will have a great time
crafting, and oh’ please do check-out other posts that also cover more articles on Halloween!😀
Thanks for your super feedback and Happy Halloween! 🧛🧟
Absolutely love this idea! Great work! Very spooky👻
Hi Elena, thank you so much! glad you liked this project, just remember to save all your
treat tubs or boxes and spook them up with a bit of paint and then you
can have them re-filled with more of your fav treats, but you will need to go
trick-or-treating first lol!
I love your ideas!
This can be a great way to spend time with your family now that Halloween is coming.
In my country, Halloween isn’t celebrated that way. They just organize Masquerade balls for youngsters, which are also okay, but again there’s now the opportunity to do something like this.
Thank you for this article!
Alisa.
Hey Alisa, thanks for your feedback! Wow, Masquerade balls sound super fun too!
I could think of some great spooky masks to make, Mmmmm maybe on another post lol!
My aim is to offer ideas, and hope readers can get something out of them whether it’s
something simple, or even big.
Thanks for dropping by and Happy Halloween!
