ericg2000 Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 i picked up some styrofoam tombstones from wallmart and want to put string lights around them. i tried staples but they just pull right out. is hot glue a better option? or crazy glue? or poke holes and stick the lights thru then glue the backs?

JoeKinne Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 We light ours with either dimmed floods in front of the tombstones that are hidden from view or with bright C7/9's in front hidden from view.Here's a horrible picture of it, I will look and see if I have any better ones tonight.

bisquit476 Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I drilled 100 holes with a drill bit in each of mine, the only thing is the purple ones didn't look bright at all, they looked pretty crappy in fact. I can't seem to find a picture on this computer, when I get home, I'll look for one to post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LORisAwesome Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I would think crazy glue would melt the styrofoam. You might try it on the back side first so you don't ruin the front... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulXmas Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I use spot lights hid behind other tombstones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aatom Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 If you use craft wire you can cut it to length like a staple and stick all the way through the styrofoam and twist tie it in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
