Using a low-temp glue gun, assemble the four sides of the post and attach the top.

Using a foam roller, paint a base coat on the graveyard post and tombstones.

• Mix some of the basecoat color with some black and white paint.
• Use a sponge to paint a faux brick pattern onto the post.

Go back over and sponge highlights and low lights to enhance the look of brick.

• Mix different shades of gray and paint the tombstones.
• Once the paint is dry, attach moss patches using the glue gun.

• Attach two 18-inch lath pieces onto the front of the stakes using the wood glue and pin nailer.

Attach the tombstones to the front of the mini wood fence sections with the glue gun.

Attach the faux chain to the post using four screws and add in the spiderwebs.

Tip: Lightly hand-tighten the screw.
