Fake Blood

(These ideas were shamelessly nicked from Andy Whitelaw (41st Fife))

Notes

  • Cost: £3, makes GALLONS!
  • Time: 10 minutes to make, 5 minutes to cool.
  • Verdict: 10/10 Great fun.

Equipment

  • Cornflour
  • Water
  • A nice Blood Red food colouring
  • Eye drop bottle (blagged free from chemist)

Instructions

  • Make a paste of flour and a little water and blend it into the rest of the water.
  • Slowly bring to a simmer and stir constantly until the mixture just begins to thicken.
  • The exact amount you will need will depend upon the number of Scouts you have, however I rarely use more than a cupful. nothing looks more fake than buckets of blood!
  • The mixture should be used quickly as it will thicken on standing.
  • We found that an eye dropper bottle was ideal storage, its lasts longer and is easy to apply.

WARNING

Some food colourings can stain clothes or skin. Please try it out before you use it otherwise you may end up with a huge cleaning bill, multi-coloured Scouts and a queue of irate Scout parents.
