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..."
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?
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?
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.
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.
