Oh no... I'm super skeptical that someone has somewhere in the octillions of shark teeth sitting around to support their business. It would be a finite business...Which I guess all businesses are, but I've always felt these things are being manufactured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And depending on the shark, some hunting is legal so there's another source of bags of teeth. That said, for the curious, you can make your own light-weight shark teeth from just a single real tooth. Get a brick of clay that doesn't harden when left out. Carefully stick the tooth in the clay, remove and then continue to do so spaced out across the rest of the brick for your tooth template. Next, pour plaster into the holes going slowly so that air has a chance to escape properly. Let set a day to ensure maximum hardening. Pull the clay apart and remove the plaster 'teeth' . You can then use a nail clipper to slowly clip away the rough edges, round out the tops and lightly sand away the 'plaster feel' . Seal them by painting carpenters wood glue on them - when it dries, it will dry a vaguely yellow color that is much more realistic than regular glue and it will be sealed enough to use in things like latex facial pieces for cosplays without chipping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love paleontology and archeology and this was a random find after watching various docs earlier in the day. It was supposed to go on my "obscurities and oddities" wish list. I also considered using them with porcupine quills/seed beads in some of the regalia beadwork I'm learning to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a fantastic tutorial and despite having no use for shark teeth I want to try it out now. ❤️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing is shark shed teeth like crazy and some of those ancient sharks were tooth monsters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
