- 1). Apply a thin layer of spirit gum to your skin where you want to create the fake wound. Let the spirit gum dry until it forms small strings that pull away from your skin when you tap your finger on the spirit gum. This means that the spirit gum is tacky and ready to use.
- 2). Remove a chunk of fake skin putty from the container and gently stretch the putty until it is larger than you want the finished wound to be. Make sure that the putty is approximately 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch thick.
- 3). Press the fake skin firmly onto the spirit gum and smooth down the edges of the fake skin so that they blend into your real skin. The center of the fake skin will still be 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch thick but the edges will be very thin. This will give the fake skin a more realistic look.
- 4). Carve the shape of the wound into the center of the fake skin with a toothpick or a metal nail file. Be careful not to actually scratch your skin underneath the fake skin putty while creating the appearance of the wound.
- 5). Rub a small amount of black makeup in the center of the wound you created. This will darken the area and give it a more realistic appearance when you add fake blood. Instead of appearing bright red, the inside of the wound will be dark red.
- 6). Apply fake blood to the interior and exterior of the fake wound. Start with a small amount of fake blood and add more blood gradually until you have achieved the desired effect.
