DIY pregnancy belly SFX

This is a quick blog about what I've been up to today...so random thing to do but I have been asked by one of my students how do you make a pregnancy belly prosthetic...so that's what I been trying to create all day today. And it has been quiet a challenge...surprise surprise it is quiet difficult.

To make a pregnancy belly you need:

a bowl

 

Liquid latex.

 

Stuffing from a cushion

 

And a whole load of patience!

 

 

Its all about layering the latex in the bowl to create the skin and then stuffing it in the shapes of a belly. Like so....

 

 

It kind of looks like a pregnant cushion belly...

 

Add this with some Pro Aid, glue to the model and boom its baby in the belly...

 

What will my fella say!!!
