How to Make a DIY Halloween Coffin Charcuterie Board “Charspookerie”!
The original halloween coffin charcuterie board – aka my “charspookerie”!
OK, THIS MIGHT BE ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE POSTS. IT COMBINES MY LOVE OF DIY, HALLOWEEN & SNACKS! A CHAR-SPOOKERIE BOARD IS JUST A SPOOKY CHARCUTERIE! AND THIS IS THE ULTIMATE HALLOWEEN COFFIN CHARCUTERIE BOARD!
HOW TO MAKE A HALLOWEEN COFFIN CHARCUTERIE BOARD
IT ALL STARTED WHEN I WAS WANDERING THE AISLES OF MICHAEL’S CRAFT STORE IN AUGUST. YES, AUGUST.
AND I STUMBLED UPON A GLORIOUS $18 3.5 FOOT WOOD COFFIN! OBVIOUSLY, I HAD TO BUY IT. I DIDN’T EVEN HAVE A PLAN. I JUST KNEW I NEEDED IT.
FAST FORWARD TO SEPTEMBER… I HAD THE IDEA TO STAIN & SEAL IT AND MAKE IT A GIANT CHARCUTERIE BOARD! I USED THIS FOOD SAFE EBONY BUTCHER BLOCK STAIN FOR A CREEPY EFFECT.
CHARSPOOKERIE ASSEMBLY
I HAVE A WHOLE BLOG POST ABOUT PUTTING TOGETHER A HALLOWEEN CHARCUTERIE BOARD. I RECOMMEND STARTING THERE IF YOU’VE NEVER MADE A CHARCUTERIE OR CHEESE PLATE.
I GRABBED A BUNCH OF CHEESE, SALAMI, CRACKERS, ALMONDS, CORNICHONS & HALLOWEEN CANDY FROM TRADER JOE’S. THEY HAVE MY FAVORITE ASSORTMENT OF CHEESES THAT ARE REASONABLY PRICED.
BEFORE PUTTING THE BOARD TOGETHER, YOU CAN LAY OUT SOME PARCHMENT PAPER FOR EASY CLEAN UP. SINCE IT’S A BIG BOARD, THIS MAKES IT EASIER THAN HAVING TO TRY TO FIT IT INTO THE SINK AND SCRUB IT!
I USED SOME “CREEPY CHEESECLOTH” FROM AMAZON AS A BASE. SERVING AS KIND OF A TABLE RUNNER.
YOU CAN USE YOUR BOARD FOR OTHER APPETIZERS & SNACKS TOO. IT’S THE PERFECT SERVING TRAY FOR A HALLOWEEN PARTY. AND WHEN YOU’RE NOT USING IT, IT MAKES A GREAT ADDITION TO YOUR HALLOWEEN DECOR!
I USED MINE AS A HALLOWEEN PORCH DECORATION BY GRABBING SOME CHALK AND MAKING IT INTO A WELCOME SIGN/PORCH DECOR!
