DIY Fun Halloween Tombstones

Round off the foam edges with a wood file to create a timeworn look.

To add cracks in the tombstone, score foam with a crafts knife.

For a professional look, use a computer to print the desired name. (We used a 175-pt Palatino font from Microsoft Office.) Alternatively, use pencil and paper to create your message.

Using tape, attach paper with desired name to the foam board.

After you have carved out the name, drill three holes in the bottom of the foamboard and insert 5-inch-long wooden dowels.

Apply a base coat of Valspar interior flat brown 'Seine' paint with a paintbrush. Let dry.

Spray the tombstone with stone-finish spray paint. Let dry.

Arrange tombstones in your front yard. Weigh down lightweight tombstones with rocks or sand.
