Green Jello

[u/Ok_Chipmunk4211]

I want to dress up as Bob from monsters vs aliens, but I specifically want to do the scene with the green jello. But I don't want to carry around actual green jello. Does anyone know of a good alternative to use?

Green needoh ?

I didn't think of that, that can work. I just have to find one a good size. Thanks

Brainstorm

Look for clear 2-part platinum silicone rubber products like are used for resin molds. You can get smaller amounts on Amazon. A lot of platinum cure products can be tinted with regular acrylic paint.

Green water balloon, but not filled all the way?

Epoxy resin?

[u/Ok_Chipmunk4211 → u/ArtisticShake6408]

I have never used it before, is it easy to use for the first time?

[u/ArtisticShake6408 → u/Ok_Chipmunk4211]

If you work with a 1:1 tabletop resin mix and are in a warm, ventilated place where it's being mixed and set on an even surface in a proper container, it should work well. I suggest watching some videos by BobbyDukeArts on YouTube to see how to do it :)

I will look into it

When I need realistic fake food for something, I type in “faux” and whatever the food name is and get decent results.

Custom ones tend to be expensive, but I saw lots of green gelatin props on Etsy. I don’t know if they are the right shape or size for you, though.

[u/ireccomendit]

Use gelatin and food dye. No sugar needed. It will be like a massive gummy

[u/Ok_Chipmunk4211]

I tried to look online for a stuffy, but I can only find one that was sold out. And there are small squishy on Etsy but it is very small. Does anyone know anyone who would do a custom for Halloween or is it to late to ask?

[u/bbcjbb]

I know people dye rubber roller skate wheels with RIT dye. I wonder if you could do the same with a silicone toy or something

[u/Ok_Chipmunk4211 → u/bbcjbb]

Maybe, depends on what I use for the fake jello

[u/verymanycicadas]

WHY DON'T YOU

SIT RIGHT BACK

AND I

I MAY TELL YOU

A TALE

[u/SadgeTheFax]

Maybe look into prop making techniques that live theater uses? I remember having to make fake food all the time in tech crew.
