Macabre Coffin Serving Tray
Serve your Halloween treats and drinks in style with a DIY macabre coffin serving tray. Purchase a flat wooden board or a shallow rectangular tray from the dollar store, along with some thick cardboard or thin balsa wood. Cut the cardboard or wood to create the classic hexagonal side walls of a traditional coffin, and hot glue them securely around the perimeter of the wooden board. Paint the entire coffin tray with a food-safe matte black paint or a dark wood stain.
Once dry, you can line the inside of the tray with a piece of red velvet fabric or decorative Halloween scrapbook paper. To make it functional for serving, screw two vintage-style metal drawer pulls onto the shorter ends of the coffin to serve as handles. This tray is perfect for displaying spooky charcuterie boards, Halloween cupcakes, or themed cocktails, making it an absolute must-have centerpiece for your holiday entertaining.
