I was inspired by this project to make coffin “wands” just for funsies. This type of decoration is not my usual Halloween style (which is more to the creepy and “upsetting”), but I just love 'em.
I worked on various components over a couple month, fitting in time here and there during breaks in my bigger DIY home improvement projects. That is how I came up with 8 coffins and therefore 8 wands. I love them displayed using vintage floral frogs, but they don’t photograph super well that way, so here are pics of each and every one.
The coffin boxes are Sizzix/Tim Holtz dies. This one was cut from paper embossed with a folder and sanded back.
These one says “home” across the top.
This shows the box from the side. All these have the boxes glued shut.
The straws were made by rolling 1.5"-wide strips of paper around some poly-tubing I had around using scrapbook-weight paper from stash The fringes are cut from vintage crepe paper** streamers, also stash.
