@brodieproductions I imagine primer would work. Try it out on a small area first to make sure.

The dollar store ones are small, like baby-sized. All the ones you buy at other places come with plastic rods to stick them inthe ground.

This is a fun project for Halloween, but if you don't want to waste your time, you can buy pre-made foam tombstones at Dollar Tree stores or other dollar stores for as little as $1 to $5 a piece. The only down side to these is that they are not personalized and they do not come with accessories or instructions for sticking them in the ground. I used 2 small wooden dowel rods, cut them short and then sharpened one end, stuck them in the ground and taped the tombstone to them with duct tape.

@googooberries just go to wallmart or dollar store and buy black acrylic paint about 1.50 and silver spray paint 2-3 dlls, cut the foam, paint one side of newspaper order doesn't matter when it's fresh wrinkle it up then get some elmers glue and glue it to your tombstone, cut the excess off then all you have to do is decorate it (optional)

You are a joy to watch. Very informative. I will be watching all your videos. With a little effort you show us how to save a lot of money. Kudos.

@EriksMovies I build tombstones out of cardboard and then paper mache them. EVEN cheaper than spending money on foam.

another good way to make cheap tombstones- those cardboard inserts they put into bookbags you buy at walmart are the perfect shape. use some cardboard tubes to connect two together with glue, use cardboard shapes or precut out funny foam to put words or edges on it, then cover the whole thing in glue and then aluminum foil. as you press the foil on it will make its own wrinkles, then just sponge on black acrylic paint , it will stick in the wrinkles and make it look like stone ^_^.
