Make a Tombstone

You will need:

  • Cardboard - lots
  • Duct tape
  • Spray paint black and gray
  • Black laundry marker
Cut cardboard into tombstone shapes. Cut two triangles half the size of the tombstone shape for each tombstone. Spray paint lightly all pieces black. When dry, spray paint gray in spots, so it looks marblized. When dry use black laundry marker to put epitaphs on the tombstone... need ideas, see Funny and Famous Epitaphs.

Now tape two triangles and inch up from the bottom to the back of the tombstone. Fold the triangles outward to create a base, so the tombstone sits up.
