How to Make Fake Blood With a Marker

Okay, you're trying to pull a prank on your mom, or it's for Halloween, or just in case you need it, here's a way to make fake blood with a marker.

Steps

  1. How.com.vn English: Step 1 Cover anything that could get stained.
    Your table should have newspaper and you might want to wear old clothes or an art shirt. This project will get messy. Include rubber gloves to wear so the ink doesn't stay on your fingers or hands.
  2. How.com.vn English: Step 2 Get your marker.
    It has to be a simple red. Bright red or dark, it doesn't matter. But if you use a brighter red, you might need a green marker to balance the color to look like blood. When you have your marker/s, pry the top off with scissors.

  3. How.com.vn English: Step 3 Take out the ink container.
    It will be a plastic cylinder with ink inside. Pull that out and place it on your table. You need to have a disposable cup and a baby medicine feeder ready.
  4. How.com.vn English: Step 4 Squeeze the ink out of the container.
    Get as much as you can and keep it in the disposable cup. When all the ink you can squeeze is out, take the baby medicine feeder out and use that to get out whatever else you can.
  5. How.com.vn English: Step 5 Mix water in with the ink.
    Some inks are too thick to be blood, so you need to thin them out with a little bit of water. Don't put too much in, or it will ruin the color and feel of the ink.
    • If your "blood" is too bright, follow steps 1-4 with a green marker. Mix only until the color is dark enough. If your "blood" is too dark, follow steps 1-4 with a white ink. Its difficult to find a white marker, so instead of doing that, you could put in a lot of water.
  6. How.com.vn English: Step 6 Pour the fake blood into a closed container.
    Make sure there are no leaks or holes in the container, not a good situation. When that is done, use the "blood" to do what ever your little heart desires.

  • Question
    Will the blood stain my skin, or will it come off with a baby wipe?

    The ink will most likely stain the skin. A baby wipe probably wouldn't be enough to wipe the ink off, but warm soapy water would do the trick with a little scrubbing.

    If you plan on putting in on you skin, any non-toxic marker is fine.

    No, the marks left by the ink will be too thin and unrealistic.
