Scabs
What You Will Need
- Corn Meal
- Kayro® Corn syrup
- Watercolors (or any available makeup; reds and brown are better)
- Knox® powdered gelatin (make into a liquid, but it has to be cooled)
What You Will Do
- Apply a thin coat of syrup on skin in the shape you want the scab to be.
- Cover the corn syrup with thick coating of cornmeal. Let sit for a few minutes. Tap off excess cornmeal.
- Color the cornmeal with paints or makeup.
- Using a paintbrush, apply cooled gelatin liquid gently over and around the scab. Let dry.
