Gothic Glam: Sink Your Teeth Into These DIY Vampire Fangs Place Card Holders
When it comes to wedding decor, the devil is truly in the details—or in this case, the dental work. If you are planning a celebration that leans more toward the Phantom of the Opera or a midnight soirée in a Victorian crypt than a standard ballroom affair, you need a way to guide your guests to their seats with a bit of bite.
Enter Kari and Rick. For their Halloween-themed nuptials, they took a classic childhood costume staple and gave it a high-end, metallic makeover. By taking standard plastic vampire fangs and coating them in a sleek silver finish, they transformed a kitschy party favor into a sophisticated piece of gothic table decor.
Why we love this DIY:
It is budget-friendly: You can buy plastic fangs in bulk for pennies, making this an affordable way to scale up decor for a large guest list.
It is highly customizable: While Kari and Rick went with silver, you could easily spray paint these matte black for a moody look, gold for a touch of luxury, or even neon for a 90s industrial vibe.
The utility is built-in: The natural gap between the upper and lower teeth is the perfect size for holding a standard cardstock name tag securely.
To recreate this look, just grab a few bags of fangs, some metallic spray paint formulated for plastic, and your place cards. Arrange them in neat rows on a dark tablecloth to let the silver pop, and you have got a seating display that is equal parts spooky and stylish.
