Making Fake Blood - The Process

10th March 2018

Ingredients:
  • Four 28 oz. bottles of orange or red ultra-concentrated dish detergent (the red frequently contains bleach - do not use any detergent with bleach)
  • One small bottle of ultra-concentrated Dawn dish detergent (blue)
  • 1.5 cups of creamy sugar-free peanut butter (regular will also work)
  • One 16 oz. bottle of washable red poster paint
  • Blue washable poster paint
  • Black washable poster paint
  • Sugar-free chocolate syrup



Tools:
Large pot or mixing bowl
Gallon-sized jug or pitcher
Spoon
Strainer or cheesecloth
Funnel
Microwave oven

The Process:
In order to ensure that the fake blood recipe we planned to follow on the day of filming wouldn't stain the tile floor in Eimir's house, we collected all of the ingredients (listed above), and Eimir then tested this recipe and did a stain test to make sure that it didn't stain, but also looked real in colour and consistency to real blood.

 
 


 


As shown in the photos above, the recipe worked just as expected and washed easily off of the tiles with kitchen roll and floor cleaner. Eimir had mentioned that the blood could've been improved by adding more brown paint to improve the colour a little bit, and also use more washing up liquid/water to make the mixture thinner.
