Recently I've been looking online for a good tutorial on how to make fake braces. I couldn't find one, so I've decided to make my own. This tutorial is great for Halloween if you want to add a personal touch to your costume :) This is my first video, so tell me how I did!

And yes, I've had braces before. Two years actually :)

Special thanks to Danni for helping me find a song to put in the background :)

Materials needed:
-Standard small paperclip
-Seed beads (can be found in any arts/ crafts store)
-Non-toxic superglue
-Paper or Styrofoam plate
-Pliers
-Orthodontic wax (can be found at many drug stores, or you can just ask a friend who has braces!)

NOTE: I don't recommend reusing the fake braces once you've already worn them once. Paperclips rust.

I filmed half of this in the afternoon, and I had to go out, so the second part was late at night, which explains the sudden lighting change LOL.
My voiceover is calm... too calm. I don't normally sound like that, it's just that I recorded the narration even later in the night, and I didn't want to wake anyone up :)

  • @giannadapple to each their own

  • Lol that was kinda ghetto lmao. But heyyyyy! Gotta give it to her, she did it with no mess ups.

  • @aryaleatri lol!! slightly ghetto, yes, but how can cheap and easy ever go wrong? :p

  • That's really cool, for some reason I really wanted coloured braces and I already had the beads and everything but I didn't have the wax so I shaped them to fit in my mouth!!

  • @Charlotte2068 haha it's cool how you were able to compromise. Hope everything turned out okay and you didn't poke your gums. Have fun! <33

  • @MegaBeautyMonster (that awkward moment when no one agrees)

  • @xhalesxlovesx If you had taken the time to read the description box, I explain that I actually had braces for over two years, so yes, I know how painful it is to have them. It's just that I think it'd be nice to have fake braces for a Halloween costume, or as one viewer told me, to prank her friends. Different people have different reasons for wanting them, so if you'd ever want fake braces, just know that this tutorial is here for you.
