Tutorial: How to Make Fake Braces that Look Real!
ChannelAlice ZhouIn brief
You’ll craft convincing fake braces for a Halloween costume using everyday craft supplies. This quick, beginner-friendly project involves shaping a paperclip, securing beads with glue, and adding orthodontic wax for a realistic finish. Perfect for adding a quirky, personal touch to your outfit.
Questions & answers
Can I reuse these fake braces?
No—the creator advises against reusing them, as paperclips rust.
Where can I find seed beads and orthodontic wax?
Seed beads are in arts/crafts stores; orthodontic wax is at drugstores or from a friend with braces.
Description from the creator
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 :)
