How to Make Vampire Fangs

If you need vampire fangs last minute come Halloween night, don't freak out. As long as you have a white plastic bottle, you can make it work. Then all you need is a cape, makeup and some fake blood, and you're all set. Follow these steps to make vampire fangs for Halloween that even kids can make themselves.

Things You'll Need

• White, empty, plastic dishwashing bottle
• Pencil
• Paper or cloth tape measure
• Scissors
• Emery board

Instructions

1. Find an empty dishwashing liquid bottle that is white. Rinse out the bottle completely before using it.

2. Locate an area on the bottle that has a curve in it, so the top lip inside your mouth can easily secure it.

3. Measure the length of your top two teeth over from your eye teeth on both sides, using a paper or cloth tape measure.

4. Draw a 1/4-inch wide rectangle the length of the measurement you took-probably about 3 or 4 inches-on the bottle along the curve on the side of the bottle. Draw two teeth that look similar to the bottom part of a quarter moon, about 1 inch long and 1 1/2 inches apart coming off the rectangle.

5. Cut out the fangs out of the bottle. File down any rough spots in the plastic with an emery board.

6. Place the fangs into your mouth.

Tips & Warnings
