Belly-button piercings are stylish and sexy, but they can be painful and expensive.A fake piercing will give you the chance to try out different styles and decide if a navel piercing is right for you.It's a good alternative for teens whose parents won't let them get a body piercing.It is easy to make a fake piercing that will draw people's eyes to your midriff.Pick out a bead, choose a piece of jewelry, and attach it to your belly button.
Step 1: There is a silver- or gold-colored bead.
The bead should be small enough to fit inside your belly button.You can buy inexpensive beaded necklaces at discount stores for $1 and cut a single bead off with scissors.You can cut the post from the back of the earring.
Step 2: There is a small stick on a piece of jewelry.
The small jewels are put on the back to stay on your skin.You can remove the post of a jeweled earring stud with wire cutters if it has a flat back.If you choose a smaller jewel than the bead you chose, your fake piercing will look more realistic.
Step 3: Attach the jeweled piece to your belly button.
If you use a stick-on piece, you don't need to glue it down.Use spirit gum, nail glue, eyelash glue or body glue if you make your own jewelry.
Step 4: Attach the bead to your body.
Since the back of the bead won't be visible, you can use your glue to make something.If you can place the bead in the upper part of the belly button, it will look like it's attached to the jewelry above.
Step 5: Let it dry.
Don't move the pieces for a few minutes while the glue dries.It's a good idea to lie down while the glue dries.
Step 6: There is a dangling earring.
A lightweight chain is a good option.Straight pins, beads, wire cutters and pliers can be used to create your own jewelry designs.
Step 7: You can remove the post from existing jewelry with wire cutters.
If the earring has a hook, it's a good idea to open the link or loop attached to it with pliers or wire cutter.
Step 8: You can make beaded jewelry by sliding beads onto a pin.
Using a straight pin with a beaded head, slide small beads onto it.You can put the beads over the pin as you please.The pin head will be the bottom of the jewelry, so the beads should be small enough to not slide over it.Don't make the pin arrangement longer than you want it to be.The rest of the pin should be bent so it forms a 90-degree angle.Only about 1 millimeter of bare wire remains if you clip the end of the pin.Use needle-nosed pliers to bend the remaining wire.The top of the ring will have a loop.
Step 9: Attach the earring to your body part.
The best glues to use are spirit gum, nail glue, glue and eyelash body glue.Adding glue to your jewelry and skin will make it easier to stick them together.
Step 10: There is a sticker above the earring.
To make the fake belly-button piercing look more realistic, add a jewel about an inch above your navel.If you don't have a sticker, you can use wire cutter to cut off the post from the earring and glue it to your skin.Choosing a jewel the same size or smaller than the pin head you choose will look most realistic.
Step 11: Allow the glue to dry.
Don't touch the pieces or move around for a while.It's a good idea to lay down flat while the glue dries.
Step 12: Just like you would create custom earrings, you can create fake belly-button jewelry.
You can make your own dangling belly-button jewelry with a variety of options.
Step 13: You can change your bead by painting it or covering it with glitter.
Roll the bead in glitter after covering it with nail polish or a thin layer of white craft glue.Before you put it on your body, let it dry completely.
Step 14: A variety of materials can be used to make earrings.
Stick the pin through all the materials instead of sliding beads onto it.You can decorate a tiny Styrofoam craft ball with paint, nail polish or glitter or roll a small ball of aluminum foil and do the same thing.The pin can be stuck through a fuzzy ball.
Step 15: If you follow the instructions, you can make an earring design.
Attach the jewelry to your belly button using the instructions above if you stop before adding a post or hook.
