Gather These Supplies

Black wood coffin sprinkled with confetti

Start by sprinkling some confetti into your coffin tray. You don’t need a ton, but enough to lightly cover the bottom with a single layer.

Pouring Mod Podge into the coffin tray
Brushing the Mod Podge around on the confetti

Pour in a little Mod Podge and, using a sponge brush, get all of the confetti coated.
