If you love the way a septum piercing looks but don't know if you want a real piercing, you can easily make a fake one.You can use wire, paper clips, earring hooks and pliers to make a fake septum.Make sure to take precautions.Make sure you know how to deal with an allergic reaction and use clean materials.
Step 1: Your materials should be gathered.
fake septum piercings can be made with wires.You can buy wires at your craft store.It is easy to bend a wire that has the color you want.You will need a pencil and pliers.
Step 2: Attach pliers to a piece of wire.
To start, go for wire that's 2 to 3 inches in length.Attach your wire to the pencil.The curve you need for a septum piercing is created by this.Take the pliers and trim the wire until it's the same length.Use your pliers to make strong cuts.To be safe for use, you need to make a clean cut.
Step 3: Add some beads.
There are many decorated septum piercings.Adding small beads to your fake piercing will make it look more realistic.Most craft stores sell tiny beads.Pick a design you like.Before you add beads, make small loops on either side of your fake piercing.Use your pliers to curve both ends of the piercing once the beads are in place.
Step 4: The pliers should be used to bend the ends of the wire.
You want the wire to fold away from the curve.There are two small loops on either side of your fake piercing.This assures that your piercing won't hurt your nose when you put it in.Use your fingers to bend and fold the wire to create a semi-circle that fits your nose.If it's taking you awhile, don't get discouraged, it may take quite a bit of manipulation with your fingers before the wire forms a semi-circle.
Step 5: You need to gather the materials.
earring hooks can be used if you can't find a wire you like at a craft store.Most craft stores have earring hooks for sale.You will need a pair of pliers.A fake barbell piercing can be made using a barbell earring.Get a pair of barbell earrings instead of earring hooks if you're going this route.
Step 6: Attach the earring hook.
An earring hook should have one end that is folded inward.To bend the unfolded end into a loop, use your pliers.The earring hook needs to be squeezed into a semi-circle.Use your fingers to form a circle.To fit your nose, squeeze the ends together.
Step 7: If you want to make a barbell piercing, bend a stud earring.
The barbell piercings have large studs on either end rather than curved edges.A barbell earring is an earring shaped like a barbell and you can use pliers to create a curve.You will get a barbell piercing with this.A lot of force is required to manipulate barbell earrings.If you're using this method, it may take a while to get the right shape.
Step 8: You need to gather the materials.
A paper clip can be used to make a fake piercing.wires or earring hooks are more difficult to manipulate than paperclips.You will need pliers and a pencil.You only need a paperclip, pen, and scissors.
Step 9: Put the paperclip into the ring.
If you bend the paper clip, it will stretch into a thin line.To form a loop, bend the clip around your pen.You have a small circular loop, roughly the size of a septum piercing, if you clip the ends of the paperclip.If you want it to fit on your nose, use your fingers to bend it into a semi-circle.
Step 10: There are different colors of paper clips.
Use different colors if you're using paper clips.You can make a fake septum piercing in a variety of colors.Sometimes the paint is cheap and chips easily, which is a downside to colored paperclips.You may have to replace your fake piercing frequently if you use a colorful paperclip.
Step 11: Don't let everything be dirty.
You should keep all the materials for your fake septum clean.It's a good idea to keep your nose clean as you put your septum inside.Before use, wash pliers, wires, paperclips, and other materials with clean water.
Step 12: It's important to make clean cuts using your pliers.
Make quick and clean cuts with your pliers.You don't want to end up with rough edges.This can damage your skin.If you end up with rough edges, sand them down with some sand paper.
Step 13: If you are allergic, watch for reactions.
If you're allergic to any materials, don't make a fake septum.You may be experiencing an allergic reaction if you notice a rash or burning.Apply antibacterial cream if you experience an allergic reaction.You should make an appointment with your doctor to see how to treat the infection.Don't use fake piercings that can lead to an infection.Use other materials to make a different septum.
Step 14: If you need to adjust the size of your piercing, try it out.
If you use any of the above methods, wear the piercing around your house.If it doesn't fit in your nose, you may have to change the size.A bridge of flesh is used for a septum piercing.Walk around the bridge and place your piercing around it.Use pliers or fingers to tighten your fake piercing if it falls off.If it hurts you may have to increase the size of your loop.
