Paint and brushes
Letter Stencils if you want.
Glue
To make.
Cut a tombstone shape out of the foam. Vary your sizes for a fun and interesting look. They should be longer then wide though. Cut out lettering for your words if you like. OR you can paint your words on later with a letter stencil. If you cut out your letters, then glue with a strong adhesive to your tombstone. Spackle the entire tomb stone and let dry. Spackle adds dimension to your tomb stones, this is optional, but it really gives the stones a fun feeling to them. Paint your tomb stone with gray and black paint. If you glued on your lettering, paint the sides of the letters with black paint to help them pop out from the tomb stone. Add white paint to the letters to make them pop as well. If you want to ad a crack in your tombstone its easy to do with black paint, just add a jagged line. If you are stenciling on your letters. Do it after you have painted your tomb stone with gray, black and white paint. Use the stencils as a guide to paint on your letters with black or white paint. Or add a 3D look to them by using both. Be creative, you can add red paint to simulate some blood, or add ghosts to the sides of them, or even bones at the base. To set up, add a base with extra foam, or bury 2 inches of the tomb stone in the ground, put some rocks against the base for fun.
