I needed to make fake blood for a new act I've put together, but I hate how sticky a lot of it is. I did a bit of research and my friend recommend I use red dish soap as a base. Please note, this is NOT EDIBLE!!!

Instructions

  1. Small 109765 2f2015 07 06 135705 img 3270

    Combine your dish soap and food dye. Use a bit under half the amount of blue as you do red. This particular batch I used half the amount of blue to red, and it came out on the purple side.

    If you use gel food dye, then you will get a perfect consistency. Regular food dye is a bit watery.

    I decided to fill flesh coloured balloons with the fake blood, as these are less likely to leak through my costume before it's time! Also white cotton absorbs it the best.
