How to Make Fangs Out of Gum

Scary-looking special effects are big business. The film and television industry provides steady work for professionals in the field. Viewing those effects on a TV or movie screen provides vicarious, sometimes lasting, thrills. Similarly, creating your own special effects can be a boatload of fun, especially if you plan to reveal them to unsuspecting friends and family. Occasions such as Halloween provide ample opportunity to put your own special effects to the test. Creating fangs out of chewing gum is basic.

Instructions

1. • 1

     Put one or two pieces of the gum in your mouth.

   • 2

     Chew the gum until it is soft and pliable. This may take a minute or so.

   • 3

     Remove the gum from your mouth and divide it into two equal pieces.

   • 4

     Shape the gum into fangs using your fingers.

   • 5

     Stick the gum onto the lateral incisors -- the two teeth on either side of your two middle teeth.

   • 6

     Press the gum firmly onto both teeth so that it adheres securely. Have fun!
