Thinking of making a bloody handprint curtain for my bathroom. Should be able to get the supplies at the dollar store... Need to get some spiderweb too... Ahh I love October

That sounds totally awesome! I love the idea!

I did this 3 years ago and if I can offer some advice...blood doesn't work. You'll need to use actual paint. Our Dollar Tree sold acrylic paint at the time so we used 1 bottle of the "Apple Red" acrylic paint. If your Dollar Tree doesn't carry it, any WalMart will. Since the blood is washable, it runs right off the plastic liner I used. Didn't even phase it at all. The paint worked like a charm though.

I would also suggest buying a cheap white towel from WalMart (usually a dollar or two) to wipe your hands with. Put a couple extra drips of paint on the towel and replace the hand towel in your bathroom with the "blood stained" hand towel. Just for that extra touch.

One of the funnest and easiest projects I've done! Good luck!!!

Looks great too, spookyblackkat!

Wow, that shower curtain looks better than the bloody ones you buy at Halloween stores! Well done

Wow! Absolutely love it. I'm going to make mine this weekend.. hopefully after I get to a pumpkin patch.. had to make a deal with the boyfriend to wait at least until the 6th. lol

So are you going to put a bloody corpse in the shower for the big day? Just thinking out loud again...

ya'll need one of these in the shower too!

I actually did put a body in my tub and worked well. I would encourage anyone else to do the same! I bundled up towels to stuff the body, placed a wig at the top and shoes at the bottom. Covered it mostly with a bloody white fabric (made at the same time as my curtain) and placed a small strobe in the tub. The curtain was pulled back about 18" and the strobe got peoples attention to take a peek.

True story...one party goer decided to lay ontop of the dead body and waited for someone to come use the bathroom. They most certainly received a scare. Lol!

That's so funny I would have loved to have seen that person's reaction. I would probably still be laughing!

Oh, now, see... That bloody curtain is frickin' brilliant!!!

thanks, I had the curtin rigged so when the door was open the curtain was closed and when you closed the door to do your business the curtain opened, it was a great scare

Thank God they're already on the john when that happens!
