Hey yall i'm having my first halloween party this year, and i made these hella cool tombstones with styrofoam and spray paint. has anyone else made there own before? my turned out pretty good, ill post some pics of them soon. One of them is marked "Kurt CObain" , " Chuck Norriss's Latest Victim", " Ben Dismembered", " No Vacancy" , and " Michael Bolton's Career".

"Michael Bolton's Career" LOL!!! THAT is a good one!!

LOL i think your the only other person here who knows who that is.

Oh my goodness I love it!!!

Where did you get the stryofoam?

They sell them at like Home Depot, where i got mine, but i've also seen it at walmart and garden ridge.

:SHUDDERS: Michael Bolton..scary and not in a good way.

I made some out of styrofoam, an exacto knife and black construction paper. Yes, those were a lot of fun! Oh, and chalk to write the epitaphs.

I had "R U Scared", "bowling for bones" w/ 10 concrete skulls in bowling pin pattern and leaf pile gutter, " Llorrona's Nino's ", and Edger Allen Poe.

Edgers was done with black concrete, letters painted with high quality glow paint. A solitary raven was perched on top. And the piece de resistance.. solitary black rose, and snifter of brandy (also painted with glow paint). IT was lit with a portable black light, which was coated with glow paint.

Also Gargoyles, Celtic Crosses and various other statuaries.

Llorronas Ninos & Bowling 4 Bones was done with 2" thick styrofoam.... I painted the letters with syrup, coated them with sand and torched it. BElieve it or not this works and is quick. Just be mindful of the fumes..

We made ours out of wood and put them in the flower bed next to the house. We weren't too creative with our names except for the small tombstone that simply read "Baby" and then had a small rattle drawn underneath the name.
