Halloween Craft Projects - Tombstones

This clever, easy to make project was kindly contributed by designer: Monica Collins. For questions regarding this project, please contact Monica at: collins4xin@yahoo.com

Materials: I bought foam insulation board at the Home Depot for about $3.00. (It made 3 tombstones); gray spray paint; pencil; wire coat hangers and wire cutters.

Instruction:

1. First I cut 3 shapes out of the board and sprayed it with gray paint.  I did not coat the tombstone entirely gray so it looks a little warped.  Then, I let the paint dry for about a 1/2 hour or so.

2. Then I carved my epitaphs into it. I also carved some jagged lines to make it look like it has cracks in it. All I used for carving was a pencil and pushed down to make an indentation.

3. After I was satisfied with my design, I took wire coat hangers and cut them into about 12" strips with wire cutters. I took 2 strips of the wire and stuck it in the ground where I wanted the tombstones to go and then put the tombstone right on top.
