These tomb stones could go any where inside or outside. Your creativity could go crazy with the style of stone colors pictures and script.
These are made out the blue foam board that you can get at Lowes Hardware store, then sculpted by hand with a scalpel numerous side rasps, smooth it down with fine grit sandpaper to finish it off. Plaster it with thin set used for setting tile floors for outdoor use or plaster paris for indoor. A thin layer is all that is needed to cover these, don’t make them too heavy but cover them enough to protect them from weather and prevent from seeing the foam.
Let them dry for a couple of days indoor at room temp. If possible
Once dry paint with any desired color, we used an acrylic paint then dry brushed with other colors to give it the distressed effect. We sealed it with a polyurethane coating we brushed on. You could also get a spray paint can filled with outdoor clear coating.
Tutorial coming....
