fake blood karo
Will food coloring stain hair?
I made fake blood (Karo syrup, and red food coloring) for Halloween costumes, and I want to be able to mat up my kid’s hair with it (they’re going to be zombies). Will the food coloring stain their hair? I don’t want them to have pink hair later! Thanks!
Mhm..but you can use this recipie…or just get a spray from Wal-Mart :]
Take a teaspoon or two of Arrowroot (a white powder used in baking that you can easily find in health food shops) and add to water heated on the stove. Stir continuously until the mixture becomes gloopy. Add a small amount of red children’s non-toxic powder paint and stir in. The mixture should now be bright red. Add a tiny amount of brown powder paint or coffee concentrate (make this by adding a small amount of water to coffee granules) to darken the blood as required. Store in a bottle or jam jar and thin by adding water to make the blood the required consistency as and when you need it. For bullet hits you need to thin the blood quite a bit to allow it to spray out.
