Quick Tip: Blood Removal

You all are going to think I am a morbid person. Really I am not, but blood has been a constant problem in my costuming life. Whenever I am working on a white dress/costume, I always poke my finger and bleed all over it. It inevitable. I don't mean to sound disgusting, but we deal with sharp objects and needles, and as careful as costumers try to be, accidents happen.

So, If you are working on something and this happens to you - spit on it. No, really. There are enzymes in your saliva that gets out your own blood. That's the key - your own saliva and your own blood. It does not work if it's someone else blood with your saliva.
