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.Advertisement
-
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. [1] X Research source
-
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 greaseproof paper or plate to prevent them from 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!

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!)Thanks
- Your fangs will probably be whiter than your teeth if you want your fangs to match your own teeth color 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.Thanks
