I got scrounged up these pieces of foam from work. It's 2" thick Dow Styrofoam. I've got a peice about 4' square and some "sticks" that are about 5-6" wide and are about 4' long or so. Any ideas of what I can do with these? I was thinking of carving some tombstones out of the big piece, but if there's a better idea, I'm all for it...hahaha. But I don't have any idea of what to do with the "sticks" though. Here's a picture of what I got...

1) If you need a stone facade you could cut up the smaller pieces for that.

2) if you cut boards out of the sheets and make them look like wood, you could board up your windows.

3) sign for your haunt

Make some short columns or gate entry posts out of the sticks.

Go with your idea to make tombstones out of the big piece and use the "sticks" to build up a base for the tombstones.

I ended up making some tombstones out of the big pieces (I'll have to post pictures) and used those "sticks" to make up a framework for a somewhat "poseable" body. I need to "pad" it out some so it doesn't have so many hard right angles, but I think it might end up kind of cool...It's all held together with plumbers tape and wire hangers.

You've got a good start on a body there, Unda, and those sneakers add just the right touch of class:D

Foam sands nicely or use a hot wire cutter to round it off.
