Description
After making my first set of Fimo teeth for a possible Viral costume I may make in the future I thought I would put together a tutorial for anyone else looking to try their hand at it.*EDIT*
commented below with a tip that may come in handy if the color ends up unnaturally white.
"i have a little tip for anyone reading this, to give your teeth that realistic look ad a tiny (AND I MEAN TINY) amount of tan clay, yellow, and an even smaller amount of black, it looks really good, i have tried something similair to this where i made single teeth and matched them to my teeth shade..."

I would strongly suggest against it, putting anything over braces could damage them or the connection between them and the tooth enamel.

Is it heavy? ; u ; I'm trying to make a set of Grell teeth on a budget...

Wait! Do /not/ use foil on your teeth. Placing metals over your tooth enamel is very dangerous and you run the risk of actually scraping off your tooth enamel after even minimal exposure! If possible, get plastic dental trays, which shouldn't cost too much more to add to your project!

Its a good point, though also, if done properly its not supposed to have any contact with the actual tooth at all. Its only supposed to support the clay and make it easier to remove.

I've made them before, and done right, they'll stay on well. But you'll have a lisp when talking xD i find it very fun to talk with a lisp!

well im pretty shure it is so im going to make them then wear them to school and see what my teachers say>:0)

so im guessing fimo clay isnt toxic enough to harm you right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Let me just say that, though this is really old, I think this is a really bad idea. I don't think it would be safe to put clay in your mouth, especially when it is unbaked, even if you do wash your mouth out.

Thank you for your opinion but please see additional information in older comments relating to your concerns.

can you use sculpey? i was thinking about wearing this to a con and im curious about how you like talk in this? can this work for your bottom teeth as well?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, that's what i use. And it gives you a lisp but it might not be noticeable, it depends on the person. And i've only done it with the top teeth, but i'm pretty sure you can do it with the bottom teeth as well :3

OMG this is exactly what I needed I LOVE you for this bro! 2 Questions though. 1) Where can you buy the clay and the knife?(Ben Franklin's?). 2) Can you use paint to make the teeth look yellowish instead of tan/yellow clay?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You can buy Fimo and an X-Acto knife at Craft Stores. Walmart doesn't carry Fimo, but they carry x-acto knives. Paint I do not suggest because I think it's toxic and if it flakes... oh god.

Alright! Thank you!

This, also, NO.
Air Dry clay is terrible, especially for cosplaying. It gives off a powdery residue after drying and is just terrible. It also crumbles as well as probably not safe. >w<

So yeah, stay away from that. You can go to probably any craft store and Fimo is under $5. The only thing that clay is good for is art projects for younger kids.

how would you reccommend doing this if you have braces?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
can u put clear nail polish on it to give it a shine like quality?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
will the teeth stay on your mouth or will you need to use some kind of glue. god this sounds like a dimb question.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Its not dumb at all! When covering the front and back of the tooth glue will be unnecessary since they should slide over your actual teeth. If the fit is right they should stay in place.

I heard fimo is toxic and doctors said dont make it as ear-plugs kinda, i wonder if its ok for teeth then....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Its not good to ingest it (swallow it) but it is sold through Europe as a children's toy for young children and one of the testing guidelines is for ingestion. Their formula had to be changed a few years back to comply with the regulations.

do you have to seal it or something, or is the fimo non-toxic?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Most things that would bond with fimo are more toxic than the clay itself. Most of the toxicity comes from the oil used when in a pliable form. When baked its cooked off to harden it. That said, the toxicity is low enough that it is sold as a children's toy which there are tests for ingesting it in raw form.

I have a question? do you have a Canine tooth that is oddly grown? Just wondering because on picture 11 it looks exactly like mine did when I made soul eater teeth and I have the oddly grown Canine...if not then please diregaurd this question and good job on te teeth you made (^A^)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sort of, both of my canines are large, or at least wide. The one on my right thats more pronounced is also because it forced out the tooth in front of it when I was a teen. Its also not as rounded down as its twin because it shifted over into a spot that doesn't rub the bottom teeth as much. Also my top row of teeth are slightly off centered as well from it but its not enough to be noticeable, I didn't notice until a couple years ago when I realized my top and bottom teeth don't line up.
I do have to compliment you on your good eye there.

Well I Have that problem with my teeth, which is why I have to make custom teeth or fangs for cosplay rather than just use a crappy pair of fangs from a drug store. The canine on my right has pushed the smaller tooth back and my right canine came forward making it impossible to wear individual fangs, I just noticed it on your picture because it caught my attention looking similar to the teeth I made I was just curious is all (' A ')
Once again wanted to give my thoughts on a good job that you did and fill my curiosity meter for the day.

*highfive for odd teeth things*
The kits that are sold for individual fangs actually has a paste or clay with it you use for sizing. I bought a pair though haven't used it yet, but I'm not worried so much about them fitting as I am the one side looking crammed or odd because the tooth is sitting over 2 teeth to make it even with the other one.

-High five-
I have tried a couple of kits and they didn't really want to work with my mouth but I was probably just doing it wrong XD
