Doing it with Tara: Fun With 7 Inches and Caulk Blood
by Tara Diane
I’ve been itching to do a project involving caulk (mostly for the jokes, obviously) and finally came up with something! Last year for Halloween I was zombie Hermione Granger and I had a headband with a bloody wand stuck through it. So we are going to recreate that in this entry (substituting 7 inches for a wand) for all of you aspiring zombies who want to have shit sticking in/through your head.
What You’ll Need
1. Cut your object so that it fits on the headband. It can be a rough cut. If you’re doing something like a stick or a knife you can just cut a straight line, but if you’re doing something like a record you have to trace the headband and cut around it. I used a shitty wood burner to cut mine. Albums are very easy to cut. If you have an old knife you don’t mind ruining, just get it very hot (hold a lighter to it) and it will slice through like buttah.
2. Glue the object to the headband with fast drying glue. Hot glue guns work best :]
3. Slowly rub your caulk all over the edges of the headband. Your caulk doesn’t have to look perfect, it’s the little imperfections that make it great. Your friends aren’t going to point and laugh if your caulk is a little lumpy or crooked. And if you mess up your caulk, you can always cut parts of it off later. This was my first time handling caulk and I felt like I did a pretty okay job with it; definitely satisfied with my caulk job.
4. Once youre satisfied with your caulk, let it dry overnight.
5. When you feel your caulk and it’s nice and stiff, you can start painting it. First paint all of your caulk red. If you get messy with it don’t worry, it shouldn’t look perfect! Add in brown paint spots and kind of just try to make your caulk look as much like bloody brains as possible. I actually put paprika on my caulk to give it some more color and texture.
6. Let it dry. When you put it on, add some fake blood on the headband and in your hair around the area.
Don’t worry; I’m still working on my zombie face. Have a good week :]
