Remember when I posted this here? A zombie bitten hand? I was browsing @powdah Instagram feed and found I had missed this video showing how to make DIY veins with wool here.
Gluing down wool or yarn is an easy way to create veins and capillaries in your makeups. You can use this as an effect on it's own or as part of something else such as a zombie bite.

TIP: Here’s an easy way to make veins using red cotton or wool. This technique has been around for many years but I’ve never seen anyone use it directly on skin. Pull some red wool apart so you see the individual fibers. Stick them down to your skin with prosaide or latex. Use a needle to adjust the shape while the glue is still wet. I made a quick infected zombie bite using this technique but you could use it anywhere.
You can create the DIY Zombie Mouth Cupcakes with premade fondant and easy fresh and dried blood recipes.

From the authors:
The corpse-eating ghoul is where your kitchen supplies come in handy, because this is a piece of makeup that requires bread crumbs. And if you do a full-face coat of liquid latex, when you’re done, you’ll have a particularly weird-looking mask that you can reuse.
