Gravestone Cemetery Halloween Craft Directions
Step 1
Prepare your resin, according to the package directions, mix in black glitter and a little bit of blue. Then, pour it into the mold.
Step 2
Use a lighter to pop the bubbles and let it cure for at least 12 hours.
Step 3
Once cured, take some green acrylic paint and paint the grass line.
Step 4
Take both light and dark gray on your brush and paint the gravestone – you can add a little black paint if you need to darken it a little.
Step 5
With a skewer stick, add blades of grass.
Step 6
With a skewer stick, make dots on the gravestone and add RIP with black paint. Then, with the flat end of the skewer, stick it in yellow paint and make a small moon in the distance.
Step 7
Again, using the skewer stick, paint on a red bloody handprint that has been smeared. Allow everything to dry.
Step 8
Prepare some more resin and pour a topcoat to seal all the paint. Pop the bubbles with a lighter and allow the resin to cure. Then, you can remove it from the mold.
That’s it!
