Halloween - Tombstone With Cross

Halloween Styrofoam Tombstone

Easy Halloween Craft

What you will need for this project:

Scrap Styrofoam
Exacto knife, scissors, or box cutter
Gray paint
Dollar store black poster paint
Glue
Paint brushs

I gathered some scrap Styrofoam pieces that came in some shipping boxes I had.

I just eyeballed it and cut out a cross on top of a square shape for the tombstone piece. The base was already rectangular so I didn't cut it at all. Marks, dings, cuts in the Styrofoam are good since the tombstone is suppose to be old and spooky.

I had some gray paint so I randomly painted it on the Styrofoam pieces leaving some of the white areas of the Styrofoam unpainted.

After the gray paint was dry. I added some water to my black poster paint to make it watery. Then I painted some areas with the black poster paint. Especially the edges. So with the white Styrofoam, gray paint and black paint it looks aged. 

I used my black paint to write the letters RIP.  And then glued the tombstone top to the base and let dry.

And that's it! A quick little tombstone. I added some Halloween cobwebs and some black bats to complete the decoration. Easy!
