Dollar Tree scores
Posted On: 08/04/2008 21:54:25

Went back to Dollar Tree today and found some useful stuff.

Dollar tree August 1

The tombstones are 16" tall, so these are all smaller pieces. They are made of foam and some of the detail is lost from a distance, so I plan to dry brush with grey or white acrylic paint.


Little tabletop tombstones-resin maybe?

Da Birds. Small and pretty cheaply made, but for a dollar each I can add more feathers or beady eyes.

All of these came in a bag for a buck. I figure they can be added to candles, hold a flower in a vase or stick up out of a cake. They come snapped together but are easy to take apart.

Some detail of the top of the tombstones. You may see some thin wires at the bottom...that is all that holds them up. That will change, too.

There were a few things we haven't decided on, but will prolly get next pay period.

I bought one of the tombstones.  Thinking about painting it and gluing it to styrofoam to make it more realistic and a bit larger.  It'll give it a 3D look w/o all the carving.  I'll have to take pictures when it's done.

I bought some of those tombstones, identical ones, and I'm going to use low temp hot glue to stick them together to make them a little more substantial. I bought two bags of Spanish moss from the store and I'll glue that around the top and sides to age them and dress them up a little. I thought if I put some dowels in the middle, that would make them sturdier, too. I might just use them to decorate inside. For a buck, you can't afford NOT to buy them, right?
