This instructable will explain how to quickly and easily add a bit of realism to the hard plastic bones you buy from medical supply companies, and give a suggested use for them in "Fallout 3:" Gore Bags.These bones are great for movie props or Halloween decorations, and WAY better than those cheap foam ones you get on the Halloween Aisle. I saw this same technique used before and thought I'd share it here.

Supplies you will need:
- Black Latex/Acrylic paint
- Wood Stain (Works better with polyurethane mixed in. I did this project without it)
- Rags
- Sponge Brushes
- Bones
A note about Wood Stain
The shade you use is all down to personnel preference. I chose a muddy brown "misstint" because it was half the price. The key is to not go too light or too dark. Shoot for the mid-range. I was going to buy a darker shade of oak before I saw this can of "misstint."
Where to get Bones
The company I prefer to buy bones from is the Anatomical Chart Company. They have a large range of everything from full size university quality skeletons to a bag of Misc. Bones. If you look around you may be able to find some of these items for less money. Most recently I purchased a bag of bone from Biovere for about half the price.
