How To

Use them to simulate a Halloween graveyard, or place them along a walkway to welcome trick-or-treaters. Take a 1/4" thick, 2- x 4' piece of plywood, and cut out a tombstone shape with a jigsaw. (Note: You should be able to cut two pieces per board.) Attach a 1/2" thick, 3- x 36" piece of craft board to the back using a 1" square hinge. Sand all edges. Prime entire project, and allow to dry. Apply Rust-oleum's stone spray paint for an authentic look. Allow to dry. Embellish the tombstone by adding letters, numbers, and spiders with acrylic craft paint. Add a coat of polyurethane to protect your project from the weather.
