Make Your Own Samhain Headstones

By Patti Wigington, About.com Guide

To make the background for your headstone, apply one to two coats of plain gray flat paint to the front and sides (don't worry about painting the back). Once this has dried, it's time for the texturing. Using the gray stone-fleck spray paint, add a thin coat of flecking to the front of the stone. Don't apply too much, because it tends to get sticky and takes a while to dry.

One can of fleck-stone paint should give you enough to apply a thin layer of flecking to about five or six headstones.
