After both mixtures have been well-mixed, mix both together in one large bowl. Do not stir. Just reach in and pull out the glob of "flubber." Need glob for a few minutes.
Making The Borax Water: Borax is a type of powder soap that is available in most grocery stores. Add 1 tablespoon Borax powder to 1 cup of Water. Stir until most of the powder dissolves. Store the Borax Water in a jar or bottle, and label the container "BORAX & WATER MIXTURE". One cup of Borax water will make many batches of Goofy Putty.
Preparing The Glue: Measure 1 tablespoon of Elmer's Glue into a zipper-lock bag. Add 1 teaspoon of plain water to the bag and mix. The additional water makes the glue flow better. Add a drop of food colouring to spice it up.
Making Goofy Putty: Add 1 tablespoon of Borax Water to the bag of watered-down glue. Seal the bag and squeeze for 2 minutes in order to thoroughly mix the liquids. Notice that the liquids are starting to form a putty-like substance. Remove the putty from the bag and continue to squeeze.
Mix salt with food coloring, adding one drop of coloring at a time until desired color is reached.
Spread colored salt in a thin layer to air dry or microwave 1-2 minutes until moisture is evaporated.
Notes:If you don't want to use food coloring, you may use watercolors (allow for longer drying times). Store each color of your dried salt glitter in a salt shaker!
2-1/2 Tablespoons water 60-70 drops of red food coloring 10-15 drops yellow food coloring 2-3 drops blue food coloring 5-1/2 Tablespoons white corn syrup
Directions
Mix all of the food colorings and water together.
Slowly stir in the corn syrup until the mixture is thick, but still "slides" down your arm. (This stuff will stain your cloths, so don't wear the good stuff!)
Smear it on your skin wherever you want the "blood" to be. You can even carry around a small squirt bottle to make blood drip down from your mouth.
ScabsIngredients
Cornmeal Corn syrup Red or brown water colors or makeup blush or rouge One envelope unflavored gelatin, like Knox brand.
Directions
In a small saucepan, sprinkle gelatin over ¼ cup of cold water. Let stand one minute. Then stir over low heat until all of the gelatin is completely dissolved. (Microwave Directions: In a 1-cup glass measuring cup, sprinkle one envelope gelatin over ¼ cup of cold water, let stand 2 minutes. Microwave on HIGH {Full power} for 40 seconds, stir well, then let stand 2 more minutes until gelatin is completely dissolved. Let it cool completely before using!)
Paint or smear a thin coat of corn syrup on your skin the shape you want your scabs to be.
Cover the syrup with a thick layer of cornmeal. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then carefully tap off the excess.
Use the paints or makeup to color the cornmeal patches.
With a paintbrush, paint the COOLED gelatin mixture over and around the scab. Do this VERY GENTLY so you don't brush off the cornmeal. (The gelatin "seals" it in place).

Face Paint
Ingredients
6 ts Corn starch 3 ts Water 3 ts Cold cream Food coloring 6 c Muffin tin
Directions
In each cup of the muffin tin, put 1 teaspoon of cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon each of cold cream and water.
Add a different color food coloring to each cup. Mix well
Have one large bowl and several small bowls, one for each color. You will also need an ice cube tray with different sections, or containers to act as small molds.
Put soap flakes in a large bowl and drop the hot water into the soap flakes, stirring constantly. The mixture will be extremely thick and hard to stir.
Spoon some of the soap into each of the small bowls and color each separately, adding the color by drops until the soap has the consistency of a very thick paste.
Press spoonfuls of the soap into your molds and set the crayons in a dry place to harden. They should take a few days to a week to dry completely.
When dry, remove from the molds and allow to dry for a few more days before using.
