DIY INTESTINES

We were given a zombie project at college and I made intestines for the costume so I thought I'd just put how I made them on here.

1. Find a long, flat, smooth surface and wipe it over with Vaseline then wipe it off again with a dry cloth so there is only a thin layer left.



2. Fill a jug or something made of plastic or glass, big enough to put a large paint brush in it, with latex then paint a thin layer of latex across the flat surface, approximately 15 inches wide.



3. Use a red poster paint to paint red stripes through the first layer of wet latex or maybe grey or purple paint depending how decayed you want them to look then let it dry, if in a hurry use a hair-dryer.



4. Continue to add layers on top of each other till the latex is thick enough.



5. Roll up kitchen roll so its thin like intestines then gradually roll the latex up around the kitchen roll careful not to tear it and wind into the shape of intestines.



6. Add greasepaint around areas for things such as discolouration and shading.



7. Once finished, wipe down the surface, pour the remaining latex back into the bottle and leave the small amount left to dry then peel it out then throw out the brush.

8. Don't forget to make an awesome zombie costume to go with your amazing insides.

DIY FAKE BLOOD

I have been ill for the last week so I made myself get up and do something, that something just happened to be make some fake blood.


  Ingredients;
     -10ml of cheap bright red lip gloss 
     -8g of face powder/talc 
     -a capful of red food colouring
     -a small resealable container
     -something to stir with i.e. a cocktail stick

1. Mix together the powder and the lip gloss. Gradually add the lip gloss and mix in slowly so as not to get it everywhere. The lip gloss makes it gooey whereas the powder makes it thicker, if the mixture isn't thick/gooey enough add more of the relevant substance.
2. Add the capful of food colouring to make the colour more pigmented. Stir slowly as adding this makes the mixture split slightly and slide everywhere but keep stirring to combine.
3. If the mixture still isn't thick/gooey enough add a bit of Vaseline.
4. Decant the mixture into a small resealable container.


You can change the recipe however much you'd like, this is just how I do it and I only made a small amount as I didn't need all that much. If you didn't like this recipe here are some more. It may also take a while to get off. My mixture was very thick so I wouldn't use it as a dripping blood probably more of a wound filler type of blood, next time I'd put a bit of blue food colouring in it to make it darker.
