Fake Skin Recipe

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

Claudia Sandoval shares this recipe for fake skin you can use next time you dress up.

Materials Needed:

  • 8 TBSP flour
  • 5 TBSP warm water
  • Regular or Halloween face makeup
Instructions:
Mix together the flour and water, this will result in a dough like mixture. Do not add the makeup into the mixture.

Use this mixture and with a bit of regular elmer's school glue it can be affixed to the face or body. Mold the dough or fake skin to desired effect and then let dry. Keep in mind that this will take quite a while. However after adding the makeup and the fake blood or other gruesome effects the simple dough comes to life.
