What You Will Need

• Pen
• An empty plastic bottle (preferably a cola bottle)
• A pair of scissors
• Emery board

Procedure

1. Clean the bottle well using soap water before starting with the project.
2. With the help of a pen draw a wide rectangle shape on that part of the bottle that is curved in shape.
3. While drawing the rectangle just keep this in mind that the entire set of vampire’s teeth will stretch from one canine tooth to the other canine teeth of your kid. Also, it will cover the area above the front two teeth.
4. Next, draw two vampire teeth that will come out from both the ends of the rectangle you have drawn.
5. Draw the teeth in a manner that looks curved towards inside.
6. Now use a pair of scissors to cut the teeth and use an emery board to soften out the rough edges of the teeth.
7. Now place the vampire teeth on your kid’s mouth on their teeth and hold it in place. And your vampire’s teeth are all set to be complemented with your vampire outfit.

3. Using White Friendly Plastic

A friendly way to make fake vampire teeth without glue!

What You Will Need

• Hot water
• Spoon
• Cup
• White friendly plastic

Procedure

1. Take a small portion of the white friendly plastic into the cup.
2. Pour the hot water into the cup so that the plastic will start to melt.
3. Keep waiting till the plastic melts completely. Once the plastic has melted completely check whether there are any lumps left and also check the color of the plastic. If the plastic has melted properly, then it will turn completely clear.
4. Next, take the spoon and take the plastic out of the water and again divide it into two parts.
5. Take one of the plastic parts into the shape of a teardrop with the help of the spoon.
6. Place this teardrop on your kid’s canine teeth by applying pressure on the wider part of the teardrop plastic. Ensure that you apply enough pressure that the plastic sticks to your kid’s teeth, but be careful not to break or crack it.
7. Keep putting pressure until the plastic gets attached to your kid’s tooth without you holding it in place.
8. Next, ask your kid to bite down slowly to check if he can still close his mouth while the fangs are in.
9. Repeat the process and make another fang to be placed on the other canine teeth. If the plastic turns hard, then place it back into the cup and pour hot water again once it melts and is ready to place it firmly on the other canine.
10. After a few minutes, you’ll notice that the fangs will turn to become harder and will hold better in place.

FAQs

1. How can I make glow-in-the-dark vampire teeth?

For a spooky effect, try mixing glow-in-the-dark pigment powder into acrylic or plastic before molding the fangs. Make sure the pigment is appropriate for children if they might put the fangs in their mouths.

2. Can I make vampire teeth with braces?

It’s generally not recommended to use fangs that go over braces, as they could damage the braces or irritate the gums. However, you could try using cosmetic paint to create fangs directly on the teeth. Just make sure the paint is non-toxic and safe for children.

3. Can I make reusable vampire teeth?

Absolutely! Consider using heat-moldable plastic beads. Find white or glow-in-the-dark beads, following the package instructions for molding. These can be shaped and cooled to create fangs that can be popped in and out for multiple uses.

4. How can I make fangs without anything in my mouth?

For a non-mouth option, try creating a headband with attached fangs. You can use felt or foam to cut out fang shapes and attach them to a headband with elastic or glue. This way, your little vampire can complete their costume without anything going in their mouth.

These were some amazing children’s vampire teeth ideas. We hope that you enjoy trying out the above DIY vampire fangs for children for the next Halloween ball. We wish you all the best and loads of fun!
