It has been such a treat to see you multiple times this week Tara. Many thanks for all your videos, I enjoy them so much. ❤

These are so cute! I think my four goth daughters would like these. Brilliant!

[@TaraDeighton]

Ah thank you!

[@karengoldie6801]

Very cute!

I’m here for the découpage ❤

[@TaraDeighton]

Don't sit still for too long else you'll be decoupaged!

[@bdewar6837]

Such a great idea! I used to be a crafter and have decorated many of these coffin boxes but never made them into sewing accessory boxes. Love the quilted effect too!

[@TaraDeighton]

I'm so glad you enjoyed this little project!

As soon as I saw the thumbnail I was all in! This looks like so much fun to do (and tbh I do need a needle case myself lol). For the wood might I suggest doing a wood primer first and letting it dry for a day and if you get painters tape you could just cover the hinges and such instead of removing them. The primer prevents the wood from soaking up the paint...or so they say lol but that's what I did the last time I painted on wood 😀🖤🖤

Those are fabulous suggestions ~ thank you!

Tara- Brilliant Halloween project. My hack for matching elastic any colour… cover elastic with thin strap or bias fabric / I keep extra lengths left from projects so usually have something handy. I was getting so many coloured elastics which then go off & get binned. Now just white & covered saves planet & my purse! Thanks Tara.J.

That's such a wonderful idea ~ Thank you for sharing!

Love this. Nice to find your video, I'm going to have a nosey through your others 🙂 I have recently made a coffin using mount board, painted to look like wood with purple cushioning to go in my Victorian inspired funeral parlour diorama 😂I love a bit of Victorian Gothic. Can I recommend another book - Rites of Passage - Death and Mourning in Victorian Britain by Judith Flanders. It was interesting but I didn't learn much more than I already knew. Thanks 😊

Thank you for the book suggestion, I've added it to my list!
