Does the title confuse you?

It shouldn't! ;)

Take a matchbox, small size (32 count is fine) and decorate it as though it were a coffin. Perhaps your coffin is for a vampire, decorated in blood red roses?

Or maybe your coffin is for a Sainted Angel, dressed in white?

Once you have decorated the outside of your coffin matchbox, decorate the inside too--as a shrine to the dearly departed.

Think up the character of the person who would have been buried in coffin like this.

Then make the shrine inside an appropriate tribute to the long lost life of that person/creature (yes, animal coffins are allowed!)

You will have one partner, and this swap is International.

I will reserve the right to ban anyone I so choose, but I will always give a reason for doing so if that happens.

If you have any questions, feel free to pm me please.

On my watchlist. I need to experiment with matchboxes (never made one). :)

Can we just make a matchbook sized coffin? I know where there's a good pattern for one.
