Fake Earrings
The most ancient and widespread type of jewelry is piercing. But not everyone is able to decide on a puncture for the sake of such pleasure, especially when it comes to such a vulnerable part of the body as the lip. It may surprise you, but many people wear an earring in their lip without getting it pierced. How is this possible?
The whole secret is in special earrings, which are called snags or clip-on earrings. These elegant accessories do not differ in appearance from classic earrings that are pulled through the body, but have a special clasp that does not require a puncture to put on. And the most important thing is that you can make them yourself.
How to DIY
To make exclusive fake earrings, you will need to purchase the following items in needlework stores:
- Wire. The optimal thickness is 14 - 18. Choose based on what decoration you want to end up with.
- Round nose pliers. Needed to form the earring itself.
- Sandpaper - to smooth the surface of the wire.
To completely protect yourself from infection, the wire should be boiled for 5 minutes. Then it is necessary to cut off 5 cm from the wire and work exclusively with this part. The edges of the wire must be smoothed with round-nose pliers so that they are not sharp.
Next, you need to close the wire into a half ring. This can be done with any round object of suitable diameter.The resulting semi-ring, if necessary, should be sanded with sandpaper. As a result, it will become smooth and shiny, which is required.
Finally, you will need to bend one part of the half ring so that you get a closed loop. It is this loop that will be located on the inside of the lip, in contact with the gums. When trying on a fake earring, do not forget to fasten the ring well so that it holds well on the lip. Remember that the earring must be disinfected before you put it on, so after creating the accessory, it is better to boil it again.
Other options
If you have ever visited a sewing store, you should know that they sell special rhinestones with an adhesive side to decorate clothes. With such a rhinestone, it is absolutely easy and painless to decorate a lip or nose, and then also quickly remove it, if necessary.
You can make a snag from an ordinary earring. To do this, you only need to dismantle the part that is inserted directly into the ear. If you do not want to spoil an expensive jewelry made of precious metal, then you can visit a jewelry store.
Any artificial pebble or miniature figurine can become an earring snag. They will only need to be fixed with double-sided tape or special glue on the body. And although it's hard to believe, such a type of piercing as a tunnel can also become a snag.
decorative tunnels
Imitation of huge holes in the ears became possible thanks to special earrings. True, they are put on through an ordinary hole in the ear, but thanks to a very massive and voluminous outer part, they cannot be distinguished from a standard tunnel hole, several centimeters in diameter.
Practice shows that it is not so easy to get rid of classic tunnels if desired. Sagging holes without an earring look very unaesthetic, and the ears can be restored to their previous state only by surgery. That is why tunnels - snags - are a real salvation for brutal teenagers who want to stand out from the crowd, but do not want to spoil their body.
