I bought 20 feet of decor chain at Home Depot. Regular link chains are pretty expensive and heavy ($2 a foot). This was only 77 cents a foot and had a good rattling sound. I separated the chain into two 10 foot lengths. I will drape the extra chain onto the back nails to add to the rattling sound.






To attach the chain to the bottom: I slightly hammer in a nail, hook the chain over it and hammer the nail again to bend it over the chain.






To keep the chains from falling off the edges I put a nail in each corner. I thought this coffin was done but DH suggested I put a giant lock where the chains cross and a bat plaque or coat-of-arms in the center of the coffin. Good ideas...darn him.
