I&#8217;ve seen 5-foot skeletons like this go for $75-$100 around Halloween, but I&#8217;ve gotten them as cheap as $30 in the off season, on Amazon or whatever. <\/p>\n<p>Important: you want to use tempera paint here, mixed with water. Not acrylic or any other kind of paint! You definitely want something that will clean up effortlessly and won&#8217;t stain your tub. Tempera paint is perfect for this, and it&#8217;s really cheap too. You might even wanna keep an eye out for any kind of paint for kids that says &#8220;easy clean-up!&#8221; on the bottle.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll be mixing your tempera paint with lots of water; just fill the tub with water to the level you want, and start mixing in paint a little at a time &#8217;til you get the look you want. The end result might not be quite as opaque as real blood, but in dim lighting it will absolutely do the trick. <\/p>\n<p>Add a few bugs and battery powered tealight candles and you&#8217;ve created a nice relaxing bath for your skeleton!<\/p>\n<p>My skeleton didn&#8217;t want to stay propped up the way I wanted in the tub; he kept sliding all the way down into the water\/blood. So I put some fishing line around his neck and tied it up on the shower curtain rod; easy!<\/p>\n<p>This whole effect creeps people out so bad that I&#8217;ve actually had people at my Halloween parties tell me they were afraid to be alone in the bathroom. Which is about the best compliment you can get as a Halloween party host. <\/p>\n<p>Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This project is so easy and creates such an amazing effect!
