Fun Stuff

FAKE SNOT

 1/2 c  Water
 3 pk
Unflavored gelatin
Light corn syrup*

Heat water until it just starts to boil. Remove from heat. Sprinkle in the gelatin. Let it soften a few minutes, and stir with a fork. Add enough corn syrup to make 1 cup of thick glop. Stir with a fork and lift out the long strands of gunk. If it thickens too much, add more water.

    Wiggly WORMs

Make cherry or strawberry vegan gelatin according to the directions, except use half the amount of liquid to make it extra thick. When the gelatin has set, cut it into long worm shapes.

FACE PAINT

You will need: 2 ts shortening,
5 ts Cornstarch, 1 ts White flour,
and 3-4 drops vegetable glycerin
Using a rubber spatula, blend the shortening, cornstarch, and flour on a plate to form a smooth paste. Add 3 or 4 drops of vegetable glycerin for a creamy consistency. You can add coloring to this mixture to make colored make-up. If you need brown add 2-1/2 tsp
cocoa which will work for brown beards, or caveman styles.

   

Halloween Hands

Take two plastic latex gloves and fill with water. Do not over fill. Tie ends closed tightly. Lay the gloves on a cookie sheet and freeze solid. When the gloves are frozen, cut the gloves off the ice. You can add the hands to punch for a creepy look.
