Make Vampire Fangs if You Have Braces
Do you want to wear vampire fangs to spruce up your costume, but you have braces? This article should help you out!
Steps
- Assemble the items needed. These are listed below under "Things You'll Need".
- Warm the clay up. Roll it around in your hands a little to warm it to make sure it is soft enough to mold.
- Pull off two small lumps clay of the same size. Take one and fashion it into a cone shape.
- Then, push lightly over the tooth either just under the bracket on your tooth or over it. Shaping it over the bracket is very difficult to do, so avoid doing so.
- Adjust the shape as required.
- Carefully ease the clay off your tooth and fix any parts that may have become misshapen.
- Repeat this with your other tooth. This process takes time to get the fangs just the right shape and fairly symmetrical and will most likely take more than one attempt.
- Put the fangs in a low set oven for about 40-60 minutes or until solid. Put the fangs on grease proof paper or plate to prevent them sticking together or going too brown in the oven.
- Once cooled, get a small piece of brace wax and work into a ball. Then press down lightly into the fang.
- Dry the tooth the fang is going on. Slide the fang into place and push firmly so the fang goes on with a tight fit.
- Do the same for the other tooth. You should now have your very own fangs!
- Finished.
Tips
- Remember to check your fangs when they are in the oven, if you leave them too long they will burn slightly and go brown (not what you want!)
- Your fangs will probably be whiter than your own teeth, if you want your fangs to match your own teeth colour a little more try mixing a very small amount of peach or tan colored Fimo with the white Fimo. Don't make it too dark, however, as the clay darkens slightly when cooked.
Warnings
- Do not eat, sleep or drink with them.
- These are not intended to be worn for long periods of time, so don't swallow them if they get loose!
