Blood covered sheet prop

Hi!!!
Recently I had to create a prop for a project. The prop I had to make was a sheet that looked like it had been covered in blood.

 

 

To create the appearance of a blood covered sheet I:

• Found an old sheet and put it on the washing line
• Got some red poster paint and thinned it down with some water
• Found an old drinks bottle and made a hole in the top with a compass
• Put the watered down paint into the bottle
• Dripped the paint onto the sheet through the hole in the bottle
• Leave it on the washing line to dry (and hope the neighbours do not get the wrong idea)

If you are going to do this I would suggest wearing an apron as the paint had a tendency to drip onto my clothes.

I really did not expect to enjoy making this prop, as much as I did. I am not sure what it is but I find distressing clothes and objects really enjoyable and I tend to look forward to these sorts of tasks and projects.

Hope to write again soon!!!
