What You'll Need:

Here's what you'll need:

A bowl

A toothpick or a cotton swab

White glue (like Elmer's glue)

Toilet paper or tissue

Cocoa powder

Red food coloring

Flour

Fake blood

How to do it:

1. Put a dollop of glue in the bowl and add a drop or two of red food coloring. Mix it together with the toothpick, and add some cocoa powder to darken it.

2. Separate the tissue so it is only one layer thick and tear it into small pieces.

3. Dab the glue where you want your wound to be with your fingers or the cotton swab. Put the bits of tissue on top, arranged in a way that makes your wound look really gross.

4. Let the glue dry a bit, but make sure it's still pliable, and mold the would the way you want. Raise the edges to make it look gory and jagged.

5. Sprinkle on some more coca powder to darken the edges or the center.

6. Top it off with fake blood.

7. Go gross people out.


Get Creative

Add gory things, like paper clips to look like you're trying to hold the wound together with wire, etc.. Remember- no limits or inhibitions when it comes to Halloween costumes!

These two zombies love each other's fake wounds!
