- OK Haunt Fam, so I had a vision one day staring at a pile of stacked up cardboard parts boxes. " Damn, it looks like a graveyard of boxes". DING! A dim light went off in my head!
What if I could use those stacks of boxes as molds to fill with foam to make big badass tombstones! Better than the flimsy crap you buy at stores. Now what kind of dense expanding foam could I use to make long lasting, big tombstones? .....SIKA Fence post foam!!
This could work and does! 11 bags of foam later I have huge, thick, big, badass tombstones that are unique and ready for my graveyard!
Follow along and get some ideas to wrap yourself off thin flimsy store bought tombstones and make your own!!! Materials are linked below and until we meet again......keep it evil!

I must admit, I was VERY skeptical when I started watching this. :) You pulled it out! Those are legit solid gravestones. All of us who have cheap, flimsy, broken up gravestones can really appreciate these stocky DIY ones. Thanks for sharing.
I was very skeptical!!! Lol, it would have gone better had I started with the WD40. I also think a warmer day would have made the foam expand more. They are thick, solid tombstones though in the end so I would do it again! Glad to share.
Dang you were able to back spin longer than I can. When you throw cans and stuff off camera there should be a breaking glass sound effect 😂 This was a cool creative way to make these. I've never used those foam packs before. Thanks for posting this with us RUclipss.
If had cardboard I could gave gotten 2 full spins I bet,haha. I need to look into sounds effects,lol. I've seen folks use that foam to fill masks and props but I'm suprised nobody has made tombstones out of it with all the online shopping we do! This could be a whole new craze on the youtubes.
@@CobwebsandCandlesticks Now I'm thinking of making a mold with plywood in whatever shape tombstone and the just keep replicating it to make a big cemetery. For little sound effects I just record sound you like off youtube with phone then trim it and use the edited piece in video.
A plywood box mold brushed with 2 thin coats of Rebound 25 or 40 would do the trick. Just enough to coat the wood!
That bag of foam works pretty good. I may take my cheap tombstones, build the cardboard around them, then pour the foam to give my tombstone's some thickness.
That's a great idea! Like building a damn to thicken them up! I would try brushing a light coat of Dollar Tree vaseline on the cardboard though so your not spraying the back of your tombstone with WD40. You might even lightly sand the back of your tombstones with 80 grit paper to scuff it up to help the foam bite in.
Great idea! Love the entertaining video!
Thank you Samantha!! My wheels are always turning.
Really nice tutorial Ninja!!!! TY!!!! Will make one!!!
Ohhh sooo cool!! Share your tombstone on the C&C Facebook group so we can all see!
The noise you made whilst ninjaing. 😂( I do that getting outta my chair now) I died.
Lmaooo, I got some decrepit ninjas running around my damn block kung fu'ing everything up so it's good to hear them whine!
@@CobwebsandCandlesticks I need to be on the lookout in my neighborhood as well 🥷🥷🥷🥷Happy Halloweening
I was prepared to call BS on this, but the ninja convinced me.
My damn neighborhood ninjas always be messing up my yard. Buncha fools always screwing around with everybody's stuff!
Those tombstones will taste delicious! MMMMMMM, Butter
I was really craving popcorn while building them,lol. They smelled great outta the cardboard!
turned out pretty good thanks for sharing ... Going to have to try it !!
Hoard them boxes! Lmaoo, thanks D!
They are cool 😎
They better hold up! Let's see that little bastard Ninja chop through those big biotches.
I am so going to try this, brilliant!
Just hoard up some Amazon boxes!!
DAMN. I just got rid of a bunch of boxes too. I didn’t have various large sizes though. Great idea!
And you better be careful with all of those fancy ninja/dance moves.............you might throw something out or pull a groin muscle!
I just stack up boxes into interesting shapes and ideas spring into my head. Plus they were gonna be trash anyways.
Hopefully my local ninjas stretch before hitting up my yard to comnence their tomfoolery. My homeowners insurance doesn't cover Ninja invasions in any of its clauses.
What a great concept! Simple and effective! Thanks for taking the time to make this and sharing it with everyone!
It was an expensive experiment but it worked out! I should get 20 years outta these guys!
@@CobwebsandCandlesticks I sincerely applaud the concept. I need a shop of some kind where I can start something and comeback to it without having to put everything up (like on the kitchen table.) need to clean out garage and maybe secure a small space in that. Idk. I really liked your idea of improving the store bought ones. It was brilliant as well. I would like to see Home Depot make those improvements and carry a larger variety of larger styles. If they could do that and lower the price point a little, say to $30 or less, it it seems to me that they would sell out as I believe more enthusiasts would just buy those instead of trying to making them. The reality of it is I probably would.
If you can start with a small bench to work on so you can let projects sit during downtime thats a start! Alot of the tombstones out there just suck but can be improved upon. You can double up on thinner ones with thicker foam if you find a pattern you like. The HD blow molds are great they just needed a hole. You can even foam fill those!
Thanks for Sharing!! Wishing the best for you and your family this Halloween!🧡🎃😎👍😃
Back at ya Heather! Im hoping for weekend trick or treating since Halloween lands on a weekday.
Wow that’s an awesome idea on how to make Tombstones 🪦🪦🪦thanks for sharing 🎃🦇💀🕷
Thank you Susie! I'm always trying to think outside the box so I just filled it with foam,lol! Its all about experimentation.
Those are tombstones that will be around for years and you can customize them 100 different ways. Great work.
That's exactly why I tried this Ruff! The store bought ones only last a few years.
good idea brother. seems to work good. I used that post hole foam once and when it kicks it kicks fast lol.
On a hot day it's crazy fast! It's pretty dense though so it worked out pretty good as tombstones. I would do it again.
I love the creativity and energy. They turned out pretty cool, but I think it'd be worth a couple more bucks to me to just use the insulation foam sheets and save myself a bunch of work. You can still get one of a kind tombstones that way.
Very true! I priced 4x8 by 2" sheets at 57$ a sheet. It's cheaper for the thinner tombstones but more expensive for the big boy. It's probably overall pretty close in price by bag or by sheet. At least the sheets are clean with no cardboard to peel off! Lol
Could you build, with the sheets, large 3D rectangles open in the middle held together with locktite. Would be hollow in the middle but able to get the large shapes. Just an idea. I love how you've used some ideas i've seen on stiltbeast and vanoaks and completely created something so very cool! You have great energy. Just subscribed. I'm going to look through the other videos you've got. Keep up the great work!!
@@stevewakefield5001 welcome aboard Steve! You could totally use plywood sheets( greased inside) as a mold! A few screws or straps could hold them together. Allen and Derek are great but I never want to just repeat what someone else does unless I can flip it somehow.
You should check out Grimwood Hollow too, Steve's work will blow your mind! Monster Misfits, The Weird Kid Show, Steve's Haunted Yard are all some great channels to check out for Halloween stuff! Happy Halloween!
This looks cool!
They turned out pretty sweet!
Just like shake and bake!
I love me some Ricky Bobby!!
Keith, those are cool! Isn’t there anything expanding foam can’t make? 😂
Well, the post foam is a heavier weight. I wouldn't try spray can foam of any kind for the bulk of these tombstones. It would have probably been cheaper to buy a gallon kit of 6# foam from BITY Mold Supply. I actually priced 4x8 sheets of 2 inch foam before this and they were 57$. I figured, what the hell, lets try the post foam cause some folks might jot have access to 2 inch foam.
Ninjas? Better call the pest control. They would be awesome if they didn’t destroy yard haunts!
I swear I come out some mornings and find Ninja stars stuck in my tombstones. I'm about to turn the hose on them and finish them off with my official red rider bb gun!
I've used this foam in the Monster Maker molds also Keith they turn out great for the outside...great vid as normal
Oh yeah! Amazon sells 6# Marine flotation foam if you need foam in a pinch. It's even better than the SIKA foam!
$150 for three tombstones , hard pass . But we appreciate the effort and video .👍🎃
It's true Mark, they are an investment. I'll always be looking for other cheaper foams or media for projects. I just hate the thin wimpy store bought tombstones and decided its time to make some alpha tombstones! Lol
Tombstones would never scare me, it shows somebody gave a hoot about the deceased, it's the half azzed unmarked holes in the ground with a limb hanging that would send me runnin'.
They look great.. I tried that foam like 3 years back made some pumpkin molds… the only thing that happened to me was after I painted them using black latex base then acrylics over that.. they all shrank almost to nothing over like a weeks time. Let me know how those hold up
I will do that and keep and eye on them! Hopefully I have no issues! So far the skull faced one has held up for a few months so I hope the new ones do the same.
🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 ❤🧡💛 💚💛🧡❤ 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you!
Holy crap these turned out awesome! Are they cheaper than buying the insulation foam? I would love to make some for next year. I’m slowly adding to my graveyard each year. But I love how unique and one of a kind they are. And I have the biggest freaking box that would be perfect. I could even do a small weeping Angel on top or something. I love how you cut the hole out of that one. And the demon face is killer.
Love the dance moves. But it looks like you pulled something. 😂
I priced 4x8 sheets of 2" foam and they were 57 dollars. For the thinner tombstones it would have been cheaper per sheet but not for the big one. I also thought some folks might not have a truck to get it or live in an apartment with no way to store big sheets.
If you got the boxes for a specific shape tombstone save them! Im.gonna do it again,lol.
If I had a fridge box I coulda got at least 3 spins and an aviation off. I still woulda pulled something though.
the price of that stuff!! Why not use Aircrete?
I use alot of spfx rigid foam so I wanted to compare this to that. I feel it's basically the same product but at 15$ a bag versus 100$ a gallon. I wanted to see how far I could get with bags versus a gallon. I haven't played with Aircrete in a few years but I think.it would be heavier than the post hole foam. I'm always up for a challenge though.
@@CobwebsandCandlesticks yeah use the polystyrene balls it's super lightweight bit heavier than foam but no backbreaker
How long until you knew how much the foam would expand?
Loctite cures pretty quick. By spritzing water on it, it skins up faster and you can sculpt it in about 10 to 15 minutes. After about 30 minutes it's fully cured.
Rigid foam like the bag foam cures in 20 minutes, even a few minutes faster on hot days. Then its ready for skinning or paint.
@@CobwebsandCandlesticks Started this over the weekend and boy do I wish I had sprayed the WD40. I forgot so peeling it off is a struggle.
@@ryanashley6241 it's okay! You can skin right over the cardboard chunks with liquid nails or any kind of adhesive caulk!
@@CobwebsandCandlesticks Is the purpose of skinning it to make it more water resistant or for the different texture?
Look cool but at $15 buck per bag! Waste of money
150$ total investment but I know I'll have them for 20 years so they'll pay off in the long run.
Have you seen the expensive super lame ones available? Most are only as big as a piece of paper. They're so ridiculous... this is GREAT!
I guess $150 and getting a decent amount of tombstones that will last, isn’t too bad
That's the main reason I tried this! The store bought ones are flimsy with pathetic mounting sticks. I wanted some big, ancient epic tombstones that you cant get at Wallyworld.
If figure if I have them 10 years or so they were worth it. You can spend 40$ on a Home Depot blow mold tombstone or spend 10$ more and have a unique one you can't get in stores and blow your trick or treaters minds.
you could sell them for 100.00 each
If I were gonna sell them I'd use really good 6# foam! It's even harder foam than the fence post foam.
Love the props and builds but the constant "ok RUclips" kind of gets annoying. Doesn't stop me watching..... Just a bit much 😂
I say that specifically because in everybody elses videos they say "ok guys" hahahaha, so I'm subconsciously forcing myself to say " ok RUclipss" hahagaha. I also try not to say " ummm". I do sincerely appreciate you hanging in there though Colin! Much appreciated kind Sir!
You're right there! Ha ha, you are at least the only person I know that says that!. I stick with your videos to the end, but if I come across a guy who says "so without further ado".. I want to scream ha ha. Seriously do like your vids though so I hope you took my comment in the light hearted way it was intended 🎃
I appreciate your insights Colin, no harm no foul. I don't really take anything to heart cause its just YT. I do try my damndest to stay clear of certain catchphrases that drive me nuts as a viewer hahahahahs. My biggest pet peeve..." smash that like button in the face!". I just want to swan dive in front of a Mack truck when I hear that.
