Easy Teeth

[tot13]

So many of you create such awesome props, but for some of my stuff, I just need a shortcut. Here is my solution for sticking a few teeth in the head of a prop. I cut a long strip from a styrofoam meat tray, marked the teeth, scored with a razor and hot-glued them in. If I'm making a terrible mistake using the styrofoam, please let me know -

For grins, I taped his eyes in to see how he looks. I need your suggestions and criticisms as always. And oh yeah, I still have to re-attach the bottom of his jaw.

TOT13, that's brilliant! I can't think of a faster better way to make teeth. Like 3 minutes! AND it looks good too. I bet you can even mess it up with sandpaper or a soldering iron for cavities!

Thanks, DC. I have to admit I'm a little intimidated posting stuff like this, whether it's been posted before and I didn't realize it, or it's just a bad idea and I haven't realized it yet.

Great job! It never ceases to amaze me at the creativity of people in this hobby. It's also funny how good looking things can be made from everyday materials. It's one of the things that make this fun.

Don't worry about TOT, I just post like there is no tomorrow and if any one ask, I invented the Dr. Morbious 3 axis skull! :D:googly::eek:

It's good to post stuff even if its a re-hash of an older idea, you can totally resurrect good ideas from the dustbin of forum history and everyone benefits.

Nothing wrong with quick and easy, tot. I once cut a set of teeth from a strip of cardboard for a dragon's head mask for a theater project. Painted them white and they looked fine from the first row of seats on back:) I've also shaped a set of teeth out of PlayDoh on a wire base for a prop. Whatever works, works.

I love this idea. But then again - I think I have a thing for styrofoam. Great job finding the shortcuts.
