LED eyes... |
Tombstones

Another
horrible little addition to your
tombstone is the addition of glowing
eyes. There are a number of ways
to accomplish this, but the simplest
and easiest is with a pair of LEDs.
Of
course, if your tombstone doesn't have
eyes, then a pair of LEDs might look
kind of stupid, but if you think it's
scary then go ahead and do it.
It's *your* tombstone, after all.

A
pair of LEDs will run nicely off of
two AA batteries. Tie the
positive leads together (they're
usually a little longer) with a bit of
wire. Then tie the negative
leads together.
You
can either run them directly to a
battery or wire a switch in to easily
switch them on and off. You can
get battery boxes, switches, wire, and
LEDs at Radio Shack, or at (my
favorite place) AllElectronics.com.

Drill
a pair of holes into the front of your
face. You'll want your LEDs to
fit snugly in there, but don't panic
if you drill them too large. A
drop of hot glue on the back will hold
them in place. When your holes
are drilled through the brain and out
the back of your stone, insert the
LEDs into the holes. Don't push
them all the way out. If you
have a battery box and switch, mount
them to the back of your stone with a
couple of globs of hot glue.
That's it!
Have
fun
haunting!
