Step 7Time for Paint!
So far you've made the tombstone skeleton, the salty dough, and put it all together. Now you get to paint it up and make it presentable to the world!
In this step you'll need:
*Spray paint, 3 oz + depending on the size of your stone
*Acrylic paints
*Newspaper
*More duct tape
Find a well-ventilated area or go outside somewhere where you can spray paint your stone. Cover this area with the newspaper and tape it down. Now place your dried stone on the paper and spray paint the front. *Make sure you follow the instructions on the can to make sure you don't accidentally mess up the paint job*. When you've covered the stone to your satisfaction, wait until the paint dries and flip the stone over. Repeat this process on the back and make sure you paint the sides as well.
When the base coat is dry, it's time to get out the acrylic paints and do the detail work. Mine was pretty simple, some basic squiggly lines, a name, and a cute little skull. This is the artistic part, so you probably don't need any help in this area. Just paint whatever you want on the stone and let it dry. My paint dried in a few minutes, but depending on the kind you have, it might take longer.
