BLOOD:

Our group need a lot of blood for the bathroom scene when Kayla is scrubbing the floor. So we decided to make our very own blood.

We searched many techniques and ways of making blood, however, we narrowed them down to the best possible three. The link above was the one I thought was more pratical and cheaper for us to use a lot of it. Plus, it looks like real blood!

We thought the "Cocoa Blood"
was quite good to use,
however, the ingredients were quite expensive
so we didn't believe that this was the best one to use. 

Hollywood Style Fake Blood:

Ingredients

• 1/2 teaspoon red food coloring
• 1 tiny drop blue food coloring
• 1 tiny drop green food coloring (optional)
• 1 scant teaspoon flour, sifted
• 1 tablespoon corn syrup
• 1 small shallow glass or plastic bowl
• 1 toothpick
• Cooking spray
• Water (optional)
• Chocolate sauce (optional)
• Liquid laundry soap (optional) 

Directions:

1. Add flour and red food coloring to the mixing bowl.
2. Spritz your tablespoon with cooking spray and use it to add corn syrup to the mix.
3. Use the toothpick to add the tiniest drop of blue food coloring. You can always add more. Add the same amount of green food coloring if you need it to be more purple. Stir with a small whisk or spoon until well blended (and not lumpy).
4. Adjust the recipe using additional food coloring, chocolate sauce, water or laundry detergent (see below) as needed.

• We then saw this technique which was very helpful, but very expensive and hard to find many of its ingredients, so we decided this was not the best one to use.

In that case, the best one was the first one and so we decided to experiment with it. 

We added red food dye to half a cup of water first

Secondly- Esere added flour until
t was thick enough

Thirdly -We then used hunny instead of
syrup as it was cheaper

And easy as that - We made our own blood.

EYE BAGS:

Many articles, photos and videos I found on making eye bags were about making them disappear instead making them! 

Despite that, I was able to find this video on how to make eye bags which we could use for Kayla to show her as something who has insomnia and psychotic. So we tried it:
