How To Make It:
- Using the tape measure, pencil, and long straightedge, measure and mark all pieces for the coffin on the plywood sheet. Cut out with the circular saw.
- Measure and cut trim-molding pieces to size. Spray-paint the deck straps black. Let dry.
- Use the foam trim roller to paint the coffin pieces and trim-molding pieces with dark gray. Let dry.
- Assemble the coffin using the deck straps. Apply the trim-molding pieces using the hammer and small brads.
- Spray the entire coffin randomly with Glossy Woodtone for an aged look.
