The idea of this instructable is to explain the basics of how simple fake wounds are made. In the picture of the end result, the makeup and general colored area is focused in one spot, which makes it look a bit more fake than wanted.
This problem can be fixed in two ways:
And for anyone who might be wondering about it, I wanted to add that scar wax is a really good product to test with and manipulate for almost any project.
What you'll need is:
-Black, red, and brown acrylic paint. (For an infected looking cut, you'll also need green and yellow paint)
-A bottle of fake blood. (Found at nearly any costume shop)
-Scar wax (You an find this at practically every costume shop too)
-Cutips
-Flour
-A large needle
-Newspaper (So you don't make a mess!)
-Paper plate (To put the paint on)
This problem can be fixed in two ways:
- One, create a more logical design for a cut. In this instructable the leg seems to look like it was scratched by a ferocious, infected, three-clawed beaver, smeared with mud from a lake, (which would actually make sense if there was a beaver around), and cleaned around every area except the cut itself. Unless that is what you're aiming for, try to think of what actually gave you the injury before you make the design.
- Two, Add more paint or makeup around the area to make it look dirtier. That way you won't be left with a single area untouched while the rest of your body is clean.

-Open up the scar wax and scoop out a ball of the size in the picture.
-Smooth the clay with your fingers to create a long, flat worm shape and lay it on your leg/arm, wherever you want the cut to appear.
(If you put clear nail polish under the area you put the wax on, it will be easier to wash off when you are done).
- Gently smear the edges on to your skin. It's alright if the wax isn't smooth; you'll be roughing it up later.
