Tombstones

| Wire Coat Hangers |
| Wire Cutters |
| Old Serrated Edge Kitchen Knife (To cut foam) |
| Cut 3 shapes out of the board and spray it with gray paint. You may not want to coat the tombstone entirely gray so it looks a little warped. Let the paint dry for about a 1/2 hour or so. Then use the pencil to carve epitaphs into the tombstone. Make sure to push down on the pencil to make an indentation. You can also also carve some jagged lines to make it look like it has cracks in it. Cut wire coat hangers into 12" strips with wire cutters. Stick 2 strips of wire into the ground where you want the tombstone placed. Then place the tombstone on top of the wire (making sure the wire goes into the tombstone). |
