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.
