What should I do if someone wants to sign it?

Tell them that it hurts for anyone to touch it, or that the doctor (or your parent) told you not to let anyone sign it.

Question

Can you give me simpler instructions on how to make a cast?

Community Answer

Grab a sock, cut off the toe, and wrap it in gauze and bandage wrap. You may want to put cardboard on the bottom or sides first to make it look more realistic.

Question

Is there a way to make the gauze cast removable?

Community Answer

Yes. You could try sewing gauze onto a fabric cast and then you can just slip it off.

Question

How do I make an arm cast past my elbow?

Community Answer

Do that method the same, but bend your arm through the process of it. Search up pictures of full arm cast and you will see that they will have the arm bent in a L shape. A simpler way to do it also is to do it by a above knee sock. Cut the toes off and slip it through your arm. Make sure to cut a thumb hole too. Then, grab some ACE bandage or any bandage and wrap your arm like that.

Question

Can I use toilet paper to make a fake arm cast?

Community Answer

Take some lotion and put it where you want your cast to start. Next, put some toilet paper around your arm, all the way up to your hand. When you finished wrapping your arm/hand, take a sock, cut off the toe and add the thumb hole. Put the sock over the tp. It may not look super realistic, but it’s easy to make and quick. Not to mention pretty cheap.

Question

What if I don’t have the stuff I need?

Community Answer

Improvise or ask a friend if they have the supplies. If they ask you why you need these materials, tell them you are making a craft.
