This is a great idea for a one-off Halloween costume (and better for party snacks!), but given the time of year I think it's safer to assume this will be a longer-wearing costume that would need better prop longevity. | |

Looking online though, it looks like the majority is edible and animal/plant based. | |
| Jan 22, 2018 at 13:47 | comment | added | Chris H | @Wimateeka I'm not familiar with craft gelatine, so was thinking of edible. The word "costume" suggested that the solution didn't have to last forever, but a few drops of bleach should make it permanent | |
| Jan 22, 2018 at 13:14 | comment | added | Wimateeka | When you say gelatin, do you mean edible, (like brand name jell-o) or craft gelatin? Edible might mold over in the long run... | |

| Jan 18, 2018 at 14:35 | comment | added | Chris H | @AllisonC maybe. A strong mix, well sealed, should be quite stable. And you could empty and refill just with a hot water bath. | |
| Jan 18, 2018 at 14:33 | comment | added | Allison C | It would only be good in the short term, and would be prone to liquefying (and thus leaking) at moderate temperatures... but this would be a good idea for making edible potions for parties, or for a one-time use that doesn't have to be transported. | |
