In preparation for a stage production of Children of Eden, the parent volunteers were asked get some rocks for the stage. Six foot high rocks, definitely not a situation where the real McCoy would work. Some rather creative and artist volunteers had a great solution.
They used the cheapest foam board available and built the rocks by gluing layers of foam together. The pieces glued on got smaller towards the outside of the rock to save on materials. Then the rock was shaped with a hand saw and a coarse grit sander.
Finally, the artist then painted the foam with several shades of grays and browns. They came out awesome, thanks to the artist, and they were lightweight and cheap to make.
And I should mention, the youth group put on a great show.

I used that stuff to make stone like lettering for signs on the from of my building. It has a rough texture and when painted you can't tell it's not stone! Thanks for sharing!
How cool!! This sounds like a fun project we could do with the kiddos. We can create smaller versions and carve out a road for them to play cars on, perhaps a tunnel!! We're going to have so much fun!! Thanks for sharing this info!!
