Make Jewelry From Vampire Teeth! First, Stake A Vampire...

Nyuk nyuk nyuk.  I slay me.

So here's my new upcycled jewelry project: curvy red jewels, derived from dollar store Halloween teeth.

Want to DIY?  Here, I wrote up a silly, easy tutorial, just for you!

First, snip a set of teeth in half.  Defang with a pair of scissors.  Then  poke a small hole in each end.

For a pendant, you'll need two headpins and two filigree shapes:

(Find filigrees at any craft or bead store.  OR rummage your jewelry box - perhaps you have an old pair of earrings you can take apart!)

Assemble a sandwich, with the headpins going through both filigrees and the vampire teeth, like so:

With a wire snipper, trim your headpins to approx. 1/2 inch.  Then use round-nose pliers to make plain loops with the wire ends, to hold the sandwich together.

And that's it!  Add a jump ring and a chain, and voila necklace!  You can choose either side to showcase, for two different looks.

It makes a surprisingly cute shape, don't you think?  Who'da thunk?

Hope you enjoyed this tutorial - I had fun, and that's the tooth.  See you guys next time - and fangs so much for stopping by!
