Just to round up the how to, here is the first tombstone after painting



For this tombstone, I first painted it Black. Once this was dry I took a small sponge and sponged on the grey (Wiping off some of the excess paint and dabbing on). Then I dry brushed with white to give it a weathered look

So that completes this how to ... hope you all have fun making your own

Hey Herman, you know that silver Xmas spray that people use to spray pine cones ect. Do you think that would work(as long as you don't go overboard)? Just asking as that is very easily accessible to me! Or how about the fabric spray that someone posted about in the Review section?

Wow! The paint job rocks! I love the way you weathered it.

I haven't tried the Xmas spray paint (yet) but I am assuming that any spray paint will react with the foam (unless it says the opposite on the can)

I do have a couple of cans of gold/silver spray so as soon as I get some foam I will give it a try

Very kool indeed. Taking notes and trying later.

Hay Herman,
I finally found the step by step you were talking about. DDDuUUUAAAAA!!! Sorry! When I see a pic I get excited and want to know right then and there how to do it. I need to develope patients. I don't have much time on the computer so I run in and out of here. I'll try to look first next time. Thank again so much for your help
