Use your awl or screwdriver to poke a hole in the center of the bottom of your black paper cup.
Step 3:
Insert your wooden skewer in the hole and move it back and forth slightly to make the correct sized hole for the skewer.
Step 4:
Next, create your tombstone backer. Cut a tombstone shape from your paper or cardstock. Use your marker to decorate. You can draw some cracks and write RIP as I have done, or design it however you like.
Step 5:
Center your tombstone on the seam of the cup and glue it on the back.
