I don't know why something this simple has never occurred to me. I was going to carve some teeth out of foam, but thanks to you, I don't have to do that now. Thanks so much :)
@kevinchaggard Its latex and fabric applied pver a plaster headform, Im running out of time to make deranged masks because my opening day is rapidly approaching. Its basically the same process as my sock mask tutorial, except I often use burlap or scrim. I will eventually do a deranged tutorial. But it is down the road.
@abcnoyes2 Im unsure of the wattage, but I dont buy cheap glue guns anymore. Spend at least $20 on your glue gun, its worth it. Home depot carries a good one. I used to have a $250 glue gun and I loved it, but it was stolen. I will have another one like it soon, Worth it. If you are going to try alot of my tutorials, then a good glue gun is a must, very under rated tool with tons of options.
I was supposed to be cleaning my porch but I looked up how to diy Halloween body bag and came across this. Now I found something else I have to do. Awesome job. Thanks for sharing.
@Joxman2k Your theories are sound sir, I have done some shaping with a soldering iron also. By liquid acrylic I assume you mean acrylic paint, it works well but it is very opaque, I really like the translucency you can get from the leather dyes or even food coloring.
Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your videos. You are really talented and an inspiration! Going to share your videos with family since we are making zombie heads for Halloween, this and your other videos will be a great help. Cant wait to see what you come up with next!
Thank you for this tutorial. I used fabric glue all around and made bigger teeth and made a "crown" of teeth that is sure to gross out my players at an upcoming larp. I think every prince of darkness needs a crown of teeth.
Haven't experimented to much in the sculpting field aside from busts and miniatures for school assignments, but this is a really great idea that I would love to try out in the future! Great tutorials, man!
Allen, I noticed your mask itself was very Flexible. Can you possibly do a tutorial on how you go about starting the mask. I know its Latex infused, but can you possibly give details?
@Culturedropout im not a patient guy either in all honesty. I also love to wood work. I think my favorite tool is my lathe- just so much you can do with it.
Allen, just saw this conversation and I'm not sure if you got an answer, but parchment paper (for baking and such) is impregnated with silicone, so I can see it working in the way the commenter described.
these are so cool. I love all your tutorials. Giving me some great ideas for projects this summer. Among them being a bit troll head that has taxidermy done to it. THese would be great to make a large line of for the teeth. So are the plates fairly flexible like hot glue tends to be when done? Like would a long one be able to wrap about to form an entire upper or lower gum/tooth set on a large mouth?
I always enjoy watching you work. I'm more into the occasional bit of woodworking or other, less fine work, because I generally don't have the patience for much precision. :-/ The level of creativity you use in "repurposing" various materials and objects is amazing. Throw in the "editorial comments" at the bottom of the video, and it's perfect. :-)
I've actually never thought of using glue sticks for teeth before. In retrospect it seems like a no brainer :) After looking at your techniques, and depending on the design, a person could use a simple Bic lighter to round off any imperfections when constructing them. Also certain metal tools or wires could be utilized to help shape the teeth and gums after a mild melting with a lighter, or even heating the tools themselves. What is your experience with liquid acrylic as a staining agent?
I don't make monsters...but may start if I keep watching these. I am learning lots of stuff to help me with my crafts and stuff though. You have awesome videos with many great tips. 💖
Awesome vlog,I wouldn`t have thought of using those two mediums to achieve what you have,I will be a keen viewer of your work,Truely inspirational,Glad I found your Channel.
@StiltbeastStudios Yes I did mean liquid Acrylic paint. Liquid as opposed to the tube form. Can you share your success with us about shaping with a soldering iron? I was thinking more of metal dental or general sculpting tools. I would imagine it is better to soften the glue, then push sculpt, as opposed to melting with the tool and pulling a sculpted line. :) :P
I used a method similar to this. Instead I sculpted some teeth with water based clay, let them dry and pressed it into clay, the. Using hot glue gun/sticks I injected it into the mold. Outing the little teeth filled block in the fridge to cool down. Took them out of the fridge piped them out and they looked awesome. Would you by change know if creating some dentures using this method is safe for the mouth? I'm thinking on making some zombie dentures but idk if this way if this method is safe
What type of glue gun do you use? what is the watts, i know you said you use a dual temp one. are both dual temps? this is a great way to make teeth!! Thanks for sharing.
I have made silicone molds (with silicone caulk) and cut up low temp glue sticks to put in mold and put it in oven. If left in oven too long, you get bubbles in glue. Your way is probably just as fast or faster though.
So how would you do a molar? I'm looking to do a photo for Halloween that's a bunch of teeth on a plate with a little bit of blood and some pliers- but I cant find 'em anywhere (aside from real human teeth on Etsy for 40 bucks a tooth). I imagine that it would be dividing the bottom of the tooth (the non snipped portion) like the roots of teeth do.
Once again Allen, another video tutorial that doesn't disappoint. I just may have to go adding toothy gums to my corpsed pumpkins for the yard this season. Thanks for yet another great tutorial. @Carol; if you don't want to wait for Amazon to get a Silpat mat, you can try a Bed Bath Beyond. Although the cost would be pricey compared to Amazon.
I was looking for a tooth tutorial and yours was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the great tutorial. There is something that I'd like to pass along. I use parchment paper (you can buy it at WalMart or any store) in place of the pad to make the teeth and gums on and they peel off with no problem. I'm always excited when I can find something around the house to use. Thanks, again.
I love projects that I can get my teeth in to. QUESTION... I always get paint, dyes, contact adhesive etc on my hands! How do you get all the crud off of your hands?
You don't have to buy a silpat...they are soooo oexpensive!! All you have to do is get some contact shelf liner paper that is self sticking. Just get a square piece of cardboard and then peel the backing off the contact paper.The backing of the contact paper is awesome to use coz glue gun glue doesn't stick to it! I glue the backing onto the cardboard facing up that part that the contact paper was stuck on. It's cool coz you can use it over and over and it's cheap coz they sell contact paper at Dollar Tree.
Amazon sells them- there are several surfaces that hot glue will not stick to and you can use any of those, I like the silpat because I can bend it under the tooth to remove them so I dont need them to 100% cool down. Also My big glue gun gets so hot it melts most things a bit that are not silicone.
I found mine here. www.ebay.com/itm/1-Premium-Non-Stick-Silicon-Baking-Mat-Fits-18-x-13-baking-sheets-/122549278037?hash=item1c88819555:g:zyQAAOSwhdRYWfXb
I'm curious - your knowledge of anatomy seems pretty extensive. Did you do any formal study of anatomy, or is it just a product of your own research over the years?
i have a question. is it possible to make that blue that comes with the vampire fangs that you mix and then put on the fangs and make a mold of your teeth? i really need a blue or something to make the mold of my teeth inside the fangs. thanks.
Tammy Jakubik um...these dont go in your mouth. watch the video. they are for masks I never put them in a mouth or say to put them in your mouth. they go on masks.
I don't know why something this simple has never occurred to me. I was going to carve some teeth out of foam, but thanks to you, I don't have to do that now. Thanks so much :)

This is by far one of the best tutorials I have ever seen! Well done and thank you, oh by the way this was recommended by Haunters List.
I was supposed to be cleaning my porch but I looked up how to diy Halloween body bag and came across this. Now I found something else I have to do. Awesome job. Thanks for sharing.

@TaysMache Amazon has them, bed bath and beyond, some walmarts and targets. They are for cooking, any silicone baking mat will work.
@waynelaquet awesome, glad you like it.
Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoy your videos. You are really talented and an inspiration! Going to share your videos with family since we are making zombie heads for Halloween, this and your other videos will be a great help. Cant wait to see what you come up with next!
@jjesgirl I have no idea, does hot glue stick to wax paper? If it dosent stick then it will work fine.
Thank you for this tutorial. I used fabric glue all around and made bigger teeth and made a "crown" of teeth that is sure to gross out my players at an upcoming larp. I think every prince of darkness needs a crown of teeth.

@madwaxsculptor Yes Patrick, yes it does.
@YARDHAUNTER5 lol I would hope after doing this all these years Id have a few tricks up my sleeve, but I wouldnt call myself a master, just practiced.
I got my glue yesterday. My first set of teeth look awesome!! Thanks again!
@ichbineinbear Thanks- much appreciated. do you make alot of things or merely an interested observer?
So so cool! Your tutorial is great! Cannot wait to start making some of my own! Thanks!
You are so welcome!
Wow awesome. Totally gonna try this as a prosthetic for a costume.
They look so real, amazing!
They work really well. Thanks for commenting!
oh and also too i think this would be cool to have them put around a eye of a mask too.
Amazed again you are the master Yoda of haunting how-to
the teeth are awesome. now if i can make my own eye balls i would be set!
My Jeff the killer and my zombie makeups just got made so much better thanks to this video.
Allen, just saw this conversation and I'm not sure if you got an answer, but parchment paper (for baking and such) is impregnated with silicone, so I can see it working in the way the commenter described.

@TaysMache I've seen them at walmat with the pans, they are to line cookie sheets with.

Funny thing is, I was going to start making partials and dentures for people a while back and found out it's illegal in Georgia.😟
Awesome vlog,I wouldn`t have thought of using those two mediums to achieve what you have,I will be a keen viewer of your work,Truely inspirational,Glad I found your Channel.
Awesome, and affordable. Great tutorial.
Another great video! I wouldn't have thought of doing teeth out of glue.

I love how when he brings out the stuff I can tell what he is going to do
The best is the most simple
Most of the time it's the best way!
I have made silicone molds (with silicone caulk) and cut up low temp glue sticks to put in mold and put it in oven. If left in oven too long, you get bubbles in glue. Your way is probably just as fast or faster though.
Awesome, thanks for the info- do you mean wax paper?
@6Nicad6emus6 I thought they looked like that. I think they also have the ones you put candy on when you are making it. I'll have to get me some.
So how would you do a molar? I'm looking to do a photo for Halloween that's a bunch of teeth on a plate with a little bit of blood and some pliers- but I cant find 'em anywhere (aside from real human teeth on Etsy for 40 bucks a tooth).
I imagine that it would be dividing the bottom of the tooth (the non snipped portion) like the roots of teeth do.
This video has given me the info I need for my skull work! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Amazon dot com . It is called a silpat
The plastic in hot glue is pretty inert. that part I would not worry about to much. but I cant obviously recomend it for legal reasons.
Are ya crazy or what?? This is something I've got to do!!Hobby Lobby is getting a visit from the Digger!!Great how to,thanks for sharing!!
what are the watts on your glue guns? I know the one is a dual temp, are they heavy duty or less
Go at least 60watt. Glue guns is one place where I do not mind spending money- get a good one- a $6 glue gun will give you $6 results.
awesome, happy to help!
Not Fat Hand it was the Glue gun. What wattage of glue guns do you use?
Nice!
hey i had that satyr mask i tried to make it a sock mask and failed i dont like the nos on that mask
Once again Allen, another video tutorial that doesn't disappoint. I just may have to go adding toothy gums to my corpsed pumpkins for the yard this season.
Thanks for yet another great tutorial.
@Carol; if you don't want to wait for Amazon to get a Silpat mat, you can try a Bed Bath Beyond. Although the cost would be pricey compared to Amazon.
Franklin G. Roberts III I got mine at bed bath and beyond! Yeah this is a great way to make teeth cheaply.
Woow I love all the videos.Este señor es mi alma gemela😍🥰❤️
thank you!
Thanks so much for sharing this! I just favorite this video and definitely will be trying this.
Where did you get the pad your using for the hot glue?
I was looking for a tooth tutorial and yours was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the great tutorial. There is something that I'd like to pass along.

Dolores Johnson cool, good tip.
would wax paper work for the hot glue?
I love projects that I can get my teeth in to. QUESTION... I always get paint, dyes, contact adhesive etc on my hands! How do you get all the crud off of your hands?
If you were making fake fingernails for Halloween props would you use the same procedure with white glue as you did to make the teeth in this video?
no, because hot glue would be hard to glue on, try this method
th-cam.com/video/RKbMjcxtCMo/w-d-xo.html
yes, just like hot glue
Love your tutorial. New sub here. Thankyou. Xx
very cool video :) thankyou for making it
Where do you get those pads?
where did can I buy a sill pad for the hot glue
You don't have to buy a silpat...they are soooo oexpensive!! All you have to do is get some contact shelf liner paper that is self sticking.

This is so cool, thanks?!
I'm curious - your knowledge of anatomy seems pretty extensive. Did you do any formal study of anatomy, or is it just a product of your own research over the years?
its my own research. Its a necessary lesson if you want to get better at sculpting. It helps to know the norms so you can twist it.
Another great video! Love it
i have a question. is it possible to make that blue that comes with the vampire fangs that you mix and then put on the fangs and make a mold of your teeth?
i really need a blue or something to make the mold of my teeth inside the fangs. thanks.
+Mariana Salgueiro Do you mean Alginate? I dont know what you mean by blue.
+StiltbeastStudios oh sorry, it was glue not blue. Sorry.
get some friendly plastic, that is what you need.
+StiltbeastStudios thank you so much.
could you use a fuzzy dry brush on the wipe off of the stain?
clark davis yes, or a sponge works as well. I just like cloth.
What could you use instead of the leather stain
Watered-down acrylic paint. Apply liberally with a brush, wipe off with a paper towel.
Im sure it would, you can also make just the teeth ahead of time and then add them to gums built right on the mouth of your creature.
Tip : Nail polish from the dollar store works way better on hot glue than latex.
Lori Green you mean as in paint?
StiltbeastStudios Yes, the color comes out so much smoother than paint.
Hi I'm looking to make a tooth fairy crown, how would I join all my gums/teeth together to make the crown secure and not flimsy?
+Gothic lana hot glue works great
@StiltbeastStudios by the way will we see a Deranged mask being built?
awesome :D i must work on my special effects haha
If I saw that looking in my window I’d have to be buried in a few days because that right there would be terrifying! 😊
we aim to scare!
Génial merci :)
pasa videos en espanol
So if people are leather, and soylent green is people... Great, now I'm going to be up for hours trying to work that one out.
Netflixry delicious Soylent green!
And jerky is dehydrated meat...
you are such a clever fuck! i love your videos!!
You Need to use products approved for use in the mouth. Period. Using glue sticks is not professional.
Tammy Jakubik um...these dont go in your mouth. watch the video. they are for masks I never put them in a mouth or say to put them in your mouth. they go on masks.
Can’t see past your hand! 🥴
nope, fat hand stikes again. Im saving up for an xray camera.
