- Tooth Picks
- A syringe with water
- Plastic Bowl/Plate.
For burns you need:
- Non-toxic PVA Glue
- Pink and purple eye shadow (preferably non-metallic)

There are many things you can create with the "goop" (on next page) so be creative!

The Goop
Doesn't matter whether you are making a bullet wound, severed finger or toothpick through your finger, you need this basic goop to get you through!
1. Scoop out your desired quantity of petroleum jelly into your plastic bowl.
2. Add a few drops of red food colouring.
3. Mix the stuff so all the food dye is mixed in and you have a nice pinky/red paste.

The Severed Finger
The Severed Finger
You will need the goop from previous step for this!
1. Dab a blob of blood goop onto your knuckle.
2. Smooth sides.
3. Using a toothpick, scratch out a line across you knuckle but not all the way or the fake blood will ooze out.
4. Using the syringe, water down a bit of red food dye and suck back up into syringe.
5. Squirt the "blood" into the "cut" and around for a realistic effect.

Burns
Burns
For this you will need the materials listed on the first page.
1. Apply a smudge of pink and purple eye shadow.
2. Apply a generous layer of PVA glue over the eye shadow.
3. Using a hair dryer, dry the glue but dont actually burn yourself!.
4. When the glue is totally dry, pick at parts of it to give a blistered effect.
If you are unable to pick the glue, you need to apply a bit more!
Thanks!
