Hocus Pocus Popsicle Stick Tombstones
STEP ONE
Gather all supplies. To create Emily Binx tombstone, line up three jumbo and four regular craft sticks on your work surface. Using scissors, trim additional jumbo craft sticks to the width of the tombstone and attach them with a glue gun and glue sticks.
Cut a regular craft stick into 3” and 1” pieces, glue it into a cross pattern, and then glue it onto the top, and back of the tombstone. The Dollar Tree craft section is perfect for finding good quality arts and crafts supplies to get creative with the kiddos!
To create the Thackery Binx tombstone, line up five jumbo craft sticks in a graduated pattern. Using scissors, trim additional jumbo craft sticks to the width of the tombstone and attach with a glue gun and glue sticks. Trim the top rounded ends of the craft sticks to create square edges.
To create the Billy Butcherson tombstone, line up five jumbo craft sticks in a rounded pattern. Using scissors, trim additional jumbo craft sticks to the width of the tombstone and attach with a glue gun and glue sticks. TIP: You can use liquid craft glue for this project, but you will have to wait for it to dry.
STEP TWO
Using a ruler and pencil, draw a straight line across the bottom of each tombstone. Carefully cut the craft sticks with scissors so you have a straight bottom edge.
Measure and cut three jumbo craft sticks to 4.5” long. Run a bead of hot glue along the bottom cut edge of each tombstone and attach it to the base. Hold in place until the glue cools and sets up.
STEP THREE
Working one at a time, basecoat the tombstones with Slate Grey acrylic craft paint. While the light grey paint is still wet, pounce Zinc Grey acrylic paint over the surface of each tombstone in a random fashion with the paintbrush. I love Americana Acrylics from DecoArt because they have one-coat coverage on most surfaces.
Add some additional Salte Grey paint, if necessary to create a stone texture. Paint the back, the edges, and the base.
STEP FOUR
Using the MONO Twin permanent black marker, create some patterns on the tombstones. Simple shapes like circles, lines, swirls, and rectangles were used to create depth and dimension. The MONO Twin is a versatile marker to craft with because it has a larger bullet tip and an extra fine tip, which makes it perfect for all types of applications.
STEP FIVE
Download and print the HOCUS POCUS TOMBSTONE PATTERNS download from the bottom of this post. Print on white paper, and then color the name plates with a dark grey marker. You can also print directly on grey paper.
Cut out the name plates with scissors, inside the lines. Flip the nameplates over and apply the MONO Glue Stick over the back of the paper. Attach each nameplate to the corresponding tombstone to complete the trio.
