Step 4

Without tearing the mold, remove it from your teeth. Using scissors, cut off any excess foil.

Step 5

Using the edible glue, adhere rhinestones to the mold. Allow it to dry for at least 15 minutes. This is an optional step.

Tip

Plastic gemstones or rhinestones can be found at craft stores or sections of general stores.

You can adjust the consistency of the glue by adding or subtracting water. For false teeth, you want the glue on the thicker side.

Alternatively, you can use non-toxic glue.

Warning

When making your fake teeth, always use non-toxic or edible ingredients.
