How to Make Blood Capsules

Last Updated: December 19, 2020

Autumn (or Spring, depending on where you live) is in the air, and you know what that means: Halloween. The most mysterious time of the year, the time when you can dress up and look foolish, watch scary movies and, of course, make blood. Blood for gore and spine tingling queasiness with your Halloween costumes––the blood capsule is the essential in props.

Steps

1
Mix together the following ingredients: 10 milliliters (0.34 fl oz) of golden syrup (any kind that is not dark syrup), 5ml or teaspoon of water, 2 drops of red food colouring, 2 drops of blue food colouring and 1 drop of yellow food colouring. Mix everything together in a jug.
- If you wish, you may add a pinch of cocoa powder for a deeper red colour.
2
Pour the fake blood into the capsules. The kind of capsule you're looking for is an empty gel capsule, which can be found at most vitamin stores.

Remove the top from the capsule and carefully pour the fake blood mixture into it until it is full or half full. When you have filled each capsule sufficiently, place the top back on and close it tightly.^{[1]

Question

Isn't fake blood toxic?

Community Answer

Store-bought ones are, but making your own isn't. Corn syrup, food coloring and water are all edible.
Question

Can I insert it to fake it as fake virginity blood?

You probably shouldn't do that because it's bad for you and possibly dangerous.
Question

What if I accidentally swallow the capsule?

Community Answer

If you make your own blood capsules using this article, you shouldn't have any problems if you swallow one since they're non-toxic. However, some store-bought fake blood capsules might be toxic, in which case you might want to call Poison Control in the event that you swallow one to see if you need to get medical care.

Warnings

Though the blood capsules are safe, don't over ingest the capsules. Golden syrup should taste good, but too much could make you feel sick, spit it out and wash it out if not to your taste.
