Hello all my fellow genealogy researchers! I was recently reading through my magazine "Preserving Your Family Memories" which is most about genealogy info and found this article on Grave Impressions .I thought it was worth sharing with you all! Materials needed: rubbing wax or jumbo crayons scissors masking tape or a partner to hold the material in place nonfusible,medium to heavyweight interfacing (Pellon is one brand name) Here are the step by step instructions for making a rubbing of a headstone: 1)Cut off a piece of interfacing a bit larger than the stone you want to rub.Either masking-tape the interfacing to the back of the stone or have a companion hold the fabric tightly around the stone. 2)Rub the side of the crayon(not the tip)or special rubbing wax over the fabric and watch the image appear. 3)You can use jumbo crayons with the paper peeled off. 4)If the fabric shifts the image will be distorted,so it's important to keep the material taut. 5)Your tombstone rubbing will be an exact replica of the stone.At home iron (with a towel on top) to set the crayon or wax into the fabric.Your family artifact is now suitable for framing!(well,suitable for anything you would like to do with it). The picture looks amazing!Hope someone finds this useful as well!
