How To Make Fake Blood

Well that blog post I said I'd post Monday? HERE IT IS....

I've been doing fake blood for cosplays for awhile now and a fair few people always ask me how I do it and really like it. So I thought I would show all you lovely people how I do my shiz.

 

 

What you will need

 

Leaf gelatine

Red food dye

Water

 

That's it! you can get the cheapest of either it still works, I think my food dye was 49p from ASDAs and the gel was like.. £1.05 I think?

 

Now how much you buy is up to you. All of this just about covered a dress, top, corset, flowers, veil so pretty good going.

 

What you do is with the sheets of gel is to cut them up into smaller pieces.

 

 

 

Just cus it's much easier to get them all to melt that way.

 

For each pack of gel I used all of one bottle of food dye for each pack and used water [Water just makes it go further]

 

Add half the food dye first.

 

 

Just wait till the gel starts to melt and add two table spoons of tap water to get it going.

 

 

Stir the fuck out of it till it's all melted in before adding the rest of the food dye.

 

 

It'll go super dark and thick and you have to work very fast with it as it starts to dry almost right away. BIG tip is already have what you want to fake blood up already set up and waiting.

 

More gelatine to food dye/water means it'll be thicker, harder to use , dries much faster and doesn't go as far. Thus the water and a whole bottle of colouring.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And what you have is fake blood that LOOKS wet but is dry and if your in a rush it pretty much dries within five minutes.

 

I like making hand prints so I always stick my hand in and go nuts.

 

 

But it's so easy to wash off since the food dye is in the gel the dye doesn't leave any marks on sides or your skin, It's easy to just peel off and clean away.

 

 

 

 

 

Hopefully this little tip will help you guys in the future.

Amsterdam - Museum Of Torture

So kids I have come back from the wonderful, beautiful land of Amsterdam and while there I went to one of the torture museums. England was famed for it's horrible past but it seems Europe wasn't a nice place either back in the day.

Here are a metric shit tone of pics I took so you can all read and enjoy the nasty history lessons. The museum of torture in Amsterdam is about 7.50 euros to get into and on another note Amsterdam dungeons which is a freaking amazing laugh is 22 euros a go. Both worth it.

The place is pretty small and darkly lit with funky lights and also some of the display stands with the writing on are either smashed or wonky as fuck so upkeep isn't very high on the list but for 7.50? it was still really interesting and if you have an hour to kill while over there, I do suggest it.

I think it's one of two torture museums but my partner finds horror-y things boring so we didn't go to the other one. Boo.

It's nice a quite, easy to find, tucked neatly in the city center though we did go around 10-11am. So I'd suggest that time to people who aren't a fan of busyness.

4/5 stars
