You will need

Piece of scrap wood ( rectangle or square any size you desire.... ) 2 ½ ' x 2' is a good size

2 Wood stakes (one should be long enough to stake in the ground and hold the wood up)

Round bowl

1 cup flour

½ cup white glue

Water

News paper scraps

Tinfoil or clear wrap

A pair of old gloves

Using your jig saw cut a corner off of the piece of wood. Paint wood to look like a tombstone. Use black and white to make a grey, add details and lettering.
