DIY a Fake Lip Piercing
- Purchase a large amount of earring wire and wrap it around a pen/pencil
- Cut the ends of the wire so that it resembles an open-loop
- Use a metal file to scratch the edges to smoothen it. Otherwise, the sharp edge will hurt your lips. Either way, add a dot of hot glue on the edges and allow it to dry.
- Once the glue dries, bend the wire until it is of the same width as your lips
- Position the ring in a way that the open edge rests on your lips
