Thread: Coffin Box w/Bloody Eyeball Party Invitations

Tweet

These are wooden coffin boxes with cast resin crosses. I stained the coffins with black wood stain and painted the inside red.
The crosses were cast from a combination of two crosses that I glued together before creating the silicone molds.




The resin was tinted with silver and then highlighted with gold rub-n-buff.

The eyeballs were made with poured sugar into a half sphere mold that I had painted with gel food coloring.
After un-molding the candies I touched up the pupils with black.





I made gingerbread truffles hand dipped in white chocolate.
The blood was streaked on with candy gel color and a hard candy pupil was pressed on top before the chocolate set.







I created the paper invitation in Illustrator and InDesign before printing and hand tearing the edges.

Those eyeballs sound so yummy but look sooo creepy. Good job!

Wow! That was a lot of hard work - they look magnificent! I'm sure your invitees will LOVE them. I'd absolutely be thrilled to get something like that.

They look amazing! You are very talented. Your guests are sure to love them

Love the resin cross on the coffin...very unique! Gingerbread truffle? Sounds absolutely YUMMY!! Great job on these invites.

Those look amazing! I wish I could send out awesome looking invites, but most of the people coming to our party are more the Facebook/college age set...maybe in the future I can do something as creative as this. Good job.

WOW.

Just WOW.

I made 16 coffins, most will be hand delivered. I will have to mail two of them.
I have bubble-backed paper to place inside the lid. They are all going local so I'm hoping that flat rate priority mail will work.
We'll see, they go out tomorrow.
