How to make a vampire's teeth: video instructions with explanations

Nowadays, vampires are very popular heroes among young people. Some people themselves want to look like charming bloodsuckers.

And the main attribute of Dracula, vampires and their ilk, as is known, are fangs, so recently a lot of dentists have earned themselves a good machine for such cosmetic operations.

However, most fans of movies and books about vampires do not want to remain with their teeth filed and frighten passers-by until the end of their days. Therefore, temporary fangs are much more popular, which can be attached to the teeth and pulled back without any harm to health.

The temporary vampire fangs will always be an actual decoration for Halloween or a means for drawing friends, this attribute of the masquerade can be bought at any store, but it's much nicer and cheaper to make an interesting decoration by yourself at home.

In fact, there are quite a few options for making vampire teeth at home, we will limit ourselves to the five most common and interesting ones.

Artificial nails

To grow canines from artificial nails, you will need to purchase nails and dental wax sold in any pharmacy store. Color is better to choose so that the fangs do not differ much from the coloring of natural enamel.

Then you need to make and fix the inserts on your teeth, for this you need to do the following:

• make the workpiece by cutting it out of the false nail;
• sharpen the workpiece with a nail file to the desired size and give the canines the correct shape;
• , if desired, at the edges of the false teeth can be slightly anointed with red food paint to give vampire jaws even more ominous bloodiness;
• for fixing the adhesive wax is applied to the tooth surface and in a small amount on artificial canines( the wax will not do any harm to the person, and its effect will weaken a few hours after application, so if necessary, remove the lining can be quite simple);
• then press the workpiece against the enamel and hold it for a few minutes.

The advantages of this method are obvious: the teeth are made quite quickly, all the ingredients are easy to get in any store and they cost cheap.

However, there is also a minus for this variant - traces of wax will persist for a few days on the enamel until finally washed.

Application of special plasticine

This method will require slightly more expensive ingredients, but the output will be fangs, no different from bought in the store horror stories and, in fact, these vampires.

For manufacturing you will need to buy environmentally friendly plasticine that is safe for health, which is sold in any children's store, or you can buy polymer clay that resembles the same clay in its properties.

The manufacturing method is as follows:

• white clay is mixed with the addition of a small piece of yellow to give it a natural tooth color;
• from the obtained viscous mass should be fashioned two canines, it is usually recommended to make blanks twice as long as real teeth;
• for fixing it is also possible to use dental glue or a means for fixing false nails.

The plasticine fangs will be brittle enough. You have to be careful with them, so that the vampire, not even hour, does not stay without teeth. Products made of polymer clay will be stronger, but they must first be subjected to heat treatment, which will require additional strength and time.

The plus of this option is that such fangs will look better than analogues from other materials.

White straw for cocktails

To make sharp vampire teeth from a normal plastic straw, it is necessary to choose its coloring for the color of the enamel and take the scissors:

• in the beginning should separate two pieces from straws, the sizes of which should be approximately twice as long as their own teeth;The
• will then need to cut the edges of the workpieces with scissors so that they become triangular, matching the vampire fangs;
• after processing, the resulting product must have a round attachment for attachment to the tooth and a canine cut from one side.

This option is much better than the previous one in terms of what the patches are removable. At any time they can be removed and put back on.

The glued workpieces will not be so functional.

On the other hand, a vampire accessory from a cocktail straw does not look as good as made from false nails or plasticine.

Plastic plug

The standard plastic plug is used as a basis. The central denticles are accurately filed, and the handle is cut in the same way perpendicularly.

As a result, you get a part of the vampire jaw, which is stuck with dental wax to the front teeth. Note that the adhesive should be applied to the concave side of the fork and fixed to the jaw so that an even number of native teeth remains in the gap between the canine teeth.

The plus of this method is that, especially in the dark, the long teeth of the fork will look like sinister sharp vampire fangs, however with plastic utensils one should be extremely careful, because its sharp edges can easily scratch the mouth.

Cotton wand

Cotton buds can serve as a good material for making vampire jaws. Ingredients in this case are as follows:

• cotton swab or ear stick;
• scissors;
• environmentally friendly glue or dental wax.

During the creation of the accessory, two cone-shaped elements are formed from cotton wool, which must be carefully pulled out so that they resemble the shape of the canine teeth. Then they are also glued on natural teeth with a pre-prepared composition of wax or nail glue.

This option has both pluses and minuses. Positive qualities include:

• lightness of the material, as a result of which the lining will not press on the teeth, create a feeling of discomfort;
• softness, eliminating cuts.

However, the design of cotton wool has a significant disadvantage - its fragility and fragility, because soft plush fang very quickly from the formidable vampire weapon can turn into a shapeless bundle of cotton wool.

Well, in conclusion, the easiest and cheapest way to make fangs at home using paper:

Each of these methods has both pluses and minuses. However, all of them are actively used by amateurs to look like vampires, and will surely find themselves admirers among those who will read this manual.
