We use a combination of red, brown and black paint because we wanted the dried blood to look a little rustier and darker, which is somewhat more realistic than a bright, true red. We're going to add some more blood on top with another technique later.Īfter all of the previous blood has dried, we mized some acrylic paints in a squirt bottle and watered it down a little with some of the leftover fake blood. As you can already see, the liquid bloodproduct is soaking into the fabric and drying to a lighter color, which is fine. Once it was thoroughly bloodied, we hung up the costume to dry. Because we had a large, gaping hole in the side of the costume where our zombie is going to have a big gash, we made sure to get the edges of that hole nice and bloody as well, and added some drips down from the hole. We used a spray bottle and a small squirt bottle to spray fake blood liquid all over the costume. Once your zombie costume reaches a satisfactory level of ripped and worn, we get to make it look bloody. We also decided to cut off most of one of the sleeves as well. We cut a hole directly into the side of our zombie costume because we wanted to make it look like she had a large, nasty gash in her side. Your project may be lying flat on its front or back, but when you're wearing your zombie costume, you don't want the fact that you missed the sides of your costume to stand out. Make sure to go all the way around, and remember to distress the sides as well. Use sandpaper to make the ripped fabric look weathered, and it will give the edges some nicely-frayed ends. Or, you might want to do the rips entirely with your scissors. If your fabric doesn't rip by hand easily, you may need to start a rip with the scissors first. The more raggedy bits, the better! We chopped off the hem and added some rips.
Once you have achieved your desired amount of filth, start cutting! We picked up a dress costume because, frankly, loose-hanging fabric is a lot of fun to play with when you're distressing a costume for a zombie look. We also used some grazzy green spray paint to make it look like our zombie had some mold or grass stains.
We also used brown spray paint from a distance to give the dirt some depth. We sprayed it down with some coffee to make it a little dingy. We're going to make the costume look worn and weathered before we do the fun stuff.
