I know it's a lil' bit early, but school has already started and Halloween will be here before you know it. I came across these recipes in The Tightwad Gazette by Amy Dacyczyn . I was afraid if I filed them away, I would forget to share them in time for the holiday. Plus, you just never know when you might need to whip up a batch of scar tissue.
Scar Tissue
Mix unflavored Knox gelatin and drops of hot water to make a paste. Apply drooping open flesh with a spatula. Apply a layer of baby powder with a puff. Paint with acrylic craft paint to resemble scar tissue and blood.
White grease paint
Mix 2 tsp shortening, 5 tsp cornstarch and 1 tsp flour. Add 2 or 3 drops of glycerin for smoothness. Add food coloring for color.
Brown grease paint
Mix 1 tsp shortening and 2 1/2 tsp cocoa. Add 2 or 3 drops of glycerin.
Mix unflavored Knox gelatin and drops of hot water to make a paste. Apply drooping open flesh with a spatula. Apply a layer of baby powder with a puff. Paint with acrylic craft paint to resemble scar tissue and blood.
