Tombstone's on the CHEEP!


Thinking about adding some graffiti to this  one, kinda like that idea
 
looking good!
 AS usual, I won't pay for something I can do on my own for much, MUCH cheaper. Doesn't make sense, I'd rather save the money and buy wood/yarn/Starbux for goodness sakes! I don't see the point of making them from foam, doesn't last, and how would I even store it? Started 2 years ago, making my own, using Plywood scraps, and with just the right amount of elbow grease, my wood one's are comparable, or even better. Plus, I get to make my own clever sayings, instead of the usual run of the mill I B DEAD, :).

see? doesn't even look like wood anymore, and wait til you see the back......
This is pretty similar to  the front, left over plywood is never the greatest....that's why it's leftover :)
 
I used a reg 1x2 I made into a stake, screwed that into my tombstone, then notched a spot, and Kregged a shelf into the back of my sign using 1x4. This way, I can just step on it, and the stake will go in, instead of endless pounding, Viola!
            Rain, rain, go away! I really want to start decorating, more on my tombstones. Working on finishing touches.

next one I'm working  on. Started drilling the worms, making a hole to put the jigsaw, and they looked too cute so I left them and painted them for eyeballs. I'm painting the little worms with glow in the dark paint, and blacklighted a few of the signs.
