It's simple to create realistic-looking fake blood out of flour or cornflour.
Steps
-
1Grab a big mixing bowl and a mixing spoon.
-
2Get as much cornflour/flour as you want to make your fake blood. (Cornflour and flour will both shrink in size when you add water, so use more than you think you need.)Advertisement
-
3Add enough water to make the mixture dribble- but not watery-consistency.
-
4Add red food coloring or orange and pink. Add only a drop at a time until you're happy with the final color.
-
5Mix everything together. Mix until it is very smooth, without lumps. If the blood doesn't look realistic then add in some bicarbonate of soda (baking soda); it'll froth but let it settle and it will work!
-
6Use as required. This will stain, so only wear with clothes you don't mind getting permanent red stains on. Done!
