Dummy Earrings
The most ancient and widespread type of jewelry is piercing. But not everyone is able to decide on a puncture for such pleasure, especially when it comes to such a vulnerable part of the body as the lip. Perhaps this will surprise you, but many people wear an earring in the lip without piercing it. How is this possible?
The whole secret is in special earrings, which are called deceptions or clips. These elegant accessories look absolutely no different from the classic earrings that stretch 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 do it yourself
For the manufacture of exclusive bogus earrings you will need to purchase the following items in needlework stores:
- Wire. The optimum thickness is 14 - 18. Choose based on what kind of decoration you ultimately want to receive.
- Pliers round. It will be necessary for the formation of the earrings.
- Sandpaper - to smooth the surface of the wire.
To fully protect yourself from infection, the wire should be boiled for 5 minutes. Then it is necessary to cut 5 cm from the wire and work exclusively with this part. The edges of the wire must be smoothed round pliers, so as not to be sharp.
Further, it is necessary to close the wire into a half ring. This can be done using any round object of suitable diameter. Formed semiring, if necessary, should be sanded using emery paper. As a result, it will become smooth and shiny, as required.
Finally, it will be necessary to bend one part of the semiring in such a way as to form a closed loop. It is this eyelet and will be on the inside of the lip, in contact with the gums. Trying on a snag earring do not forget to fasten the ring well so that it fits 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 shop, you should know that they sell special rhinestones with a sticky side to decorate clothes. It is absolutely easy and painless to embellish a lip or nose with such a rhinestone, and then also to quickly remove it if necessary.
You can make a snag and ordinary earrings. To do this, you only need to dismantle the part that is inserted directly into the ear. If you do not want to spoil the expensive jewelry made of precious metal, then you can visit the jewelry store.
An artificial pebble or a miniature figurine can be an earring snag. They will only need to be fixed with double-sided tape or special glue on the body. And let it be hard to believe, but a kind of piercing like a tunnel can also become a deception.
Decorative tunnels
Imitation of huge holes in the ears was made possible thanks to special earrings. They are put on, however, through the usual hole in the ear, but thanks to the very massive and voluminous outer part they cannot be distinguished from the standard tunnel hole, several centimeters in diameter.
Practice shows that it is not so easy to get rid of classic tunnels if desired. Saggy holes without earrings look very unaesthetic, and return the ears to the previous state can only be operational. That is why the tunnels - trompe l'oeil - are a real salvation for brutal teenagers who want to stand out from the crowd, but do not want to spoil their bodies.
