My friend Glowwy went to Michael's and saw this little wooden coffin box and got it for me. I also had an empty Pocky box lying around that I was hoping to make into a pencil case, so I just decided to combine the two =)

Get a craft coffin box (from Michael's or Joann's or any other craft store) and go out and eat some Pocky and save the box!
Carefully open up all the edges on the pocky box.
Make a paper template (I just traced around my coffin box). Hopefully yours comes out better then mine did ;)
Trace your template over your Pocky box, and cut it out. Then place over your coffin box and glue. I quickly figured out that elmer's glue wasn't the best so I took my glue gun out (it was the only other glue I had). Cut off any excess cardboard with an xacto knife. **I suggest you paint the box a "background" color before gluing anything on it.
Repeat this step for the back of the coffin. I used the scraps I had to cover up big gaps (like a mosaic), and when I ran out of scraps from the Pocky box, I painted the box (which I should have done to begin with, see previous step).
I added a coat of TripleThick to make it shiny, and also to protect from spills. Then just paint the inside, or add fabric, and you're all done! Ta-da!
