To Assemble Your Miniature Halloween Paper Coffin

Glue the tabs for the coffin base to the inside of the coffin, carefully making sure the fold lines are cleanly creased and the tabs are tightly lined up with the coffin exterior.

Set the coffin base aside for the glue to dry

While the base is drying, fold the tabs for the lid towards the lid back and glue the black edging strip along the tabs to act as a coffin lid edge (see photo). Set aside to dry.

The coffin will hold a dolls house scale doll or skeleton up to 6 inches long for a scale Halloween display or Halloween decoration.
