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.

HALLOWEEN COSTUME MAKE-UP

When I dress up for Halloween, I tend to look at films as a source of inspiration but one absolutely flawless and classic look is Johnny Depp from 'Dark Shadows'. He plays an old fashioned vampire who has been locked away for 200 years and wakes up in the 1960's Tim Burton film.
Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins.
It is a classic vampire look that can be achieved using white face paint you can buy here(£4), and dark eye shadows you probably have lying around the house. The original costume is way to expensive to even bother telling you a price but a normal vampire costume would do (£30) with some plastic teeth(£4) . Click this link here for the costume, and this one here for the teeth. Then gel and spray dye your hair or wear a wig.
