Instructions

• 1

  Draw your teeth designs on a sheet of paper. This will help you visualize your designs easier later and makes it easier to create them when you are working with metal.

• 2

  Open the molding kit and place the clay into the molding tray. Bite down on the mold for at least three minutes. This will create a mold for your golden teeth. Set it aside and let it dry. Cover it with a light layer of wax.

• 3

  Cut out a piece of the golden sheet that is large enough to cover the mold. Place it over the mold and heat it with the torch. Avoid melting the gold. Use your metal working tools to push the hot gold into place on the mold carefully.

• 4

  Use your metal working tools to carefully flatten the teeth and smooth any rough edges. Use the torch to reheat if the gold gets too stiff. After the teeth look good, let them dry until they are ready to be removed. Place the teeth in your mouth to see how well they fit. Adjust the fit by placing them back in the mold, reheating and working on the shape again.

• 5

  Heat the front of the teeth and use your metal shaping tools to create designs. Use your paper designs to get as close as possible to what you want. Let the teeth dry again before wearing them.
