Instructions

    • 1

      Take your shirt outside and lay it on the ground facing up, where you can drive over it. If possible, place it about 12 feet from some mud so your car's tires will have a chance to roll through the mud before rolling over the shirt.

    • 2

      Drive very slowly over your shirt. Try to drive over it at an angle to get the longest tread print on your shirt.

    • 3

      Park your car, and then go back and look at your shirt. There should be visible tread marks from your tires. If you did manage to roll through mud, let the mud dry before you pick the shirt up.

    • 4

      Let the mud dry, and then go over the muddy tread marks with a dark marker so they are more easily visible.

    • 5

      Rub some mud and dirt onto your face and into your hair.

    • 6

      Pull the shirt on carefully, and stick branches into your clothes so that they are sticking out from under the neck and sleeves of your shirt.

    • 7

      Put on only one shoe to complete the recently run-over look.

Tips & Warnings

  • If you are allergic to real branches, you can buy a few fake branches with leaves at a nearby craft store.

    Take washable markers (not food coloring, it stains) in the colors of brown, black and red. Smear up one of your arms, the side of your face, and any skin under holes. Then smear it around with a little petroleum jelly. It makes them look exactly like puss-oozing, open, fresh road wounds. Enjoy!

    Be sure to use a walker or crutches to really complete the scene. Not only will they believe it, they will feel sorry for you, too.

    If you want to make it more realistic, then you could also run over your pants, then tear some holes in your pants, and add some fake blood using ketchup or face paint.
