Making Shark Teeth



I make the teeth for my crocheted hammerhead shark puppet/potholders out of white silicone sealant. Here's how it's done. The yellow thing that I'm squeezing the silicone onto is a polyethylene pallet that's made for mixing Bondo on. I got it at an auto-paint supply shop.

I'm going to let this row of teeth set up for a little while and then, after the surface has skinned over a bit, I'll do another row of teeth, Because sharks have a LOT of teeth.

Once the silicone has cured, it can be carefully peeled off the palette, and glued in place with more silicone.

 Here's two sets of teeth and two sets of eyeballs.
