Spider Web Tombstone:

2. Use brush, fingers, or pallet knife to cover front of tombstone with Gray Texture paint. While still wet, use brush to add small amounts of Wicker White to the Texture paint on the ornament. Let dry.

3. Repeat step 2 on back of tombstone, covering the wire. Let dry.

4. Use Mod Podge to attach web to front of ornament. Let dry.

5. Add spiders as desired and put ribbon through wire loop to hang.

R.I.P. Tombstones:

1. Cut Styrofoam to tombstone shape, any size you want.

2. Bend 1 2” piece of wire in half to create a hanging loop. Push ends into top of tombstone until just a small loop shows above.

3. Use brush, fingers, or pallet knife to cover front of tombstone with Gray Texture paint. While still wet, use brush to add small amounts of Wicker White to the Texture paint on the ornament. Make sure paint is all around the base of the hanging loop, but doesn’t cover it. Let dry.

4. Use a permanent marker to write on tombstone. Thread ribbon through wire loop to hang.
