DIY Concrete Tombstones For Halloween

With Halloween right around the corner, what would be more fun than creating your own tombstone decorations out of rapid set cement? Here is a quick tutorial: First lets start with supplies:
  • Rapid Set Cement All
  • 11″ x 17″ baking pan
  • Dust Mask
  • Screw driver
  • WD-40 or similar
  1. Mix your cement according to the directions on the package.
  2. Spray your pan with WD-40, this will keep the cement from sticking.
  3. Pour the cement mix into the pan.
  4. Wait about 15 minutes for the cement to start to set, then using the screwdriver start carving in the words you’d like to have on your tombstone.
