    Grab a pen or marker that’s about 1 cm (0.39 in) thick. Loop the wire around twice, which gives you a lot of room to make adjustments later on. Once you have 2 solid loops around the base of the marker, slide the wire off. [1]

    Snip the wire away from the rest of the coil, which leaves you with 2 full circles of wire. Trim along both ends of the wire until you’re left with a single ring that can fit comfortably over your bottom lip. [2]
    • It’s better to have more wire for your ring than not enough.
    • Try to cut the wire in a straight, consistent line. If you cut at an angle, your wire will be too sharp.

    Push both ends of the wire towards one another, leaving a few millimeters of space in between. Don’t leave too much of a gap or your lip ring may slip and not look very believable. [3]

    Take your lip ring out for a spin and see how it looks and feels. You may need to tighten or loosen your ring, depending on how it fits. Enjoy going out and about with your cool new accessory! [4]
    • Place the ring along the center or side of your lip for a sleek look. You can also create “snakebites” and other cool looks by wearing more than 1 fake lip ring at once. [5]

  1. Watermark wikiHow to Make a Fake Lip Ring
    Pick up a pack of hoop earrings that are small enough to fit around your lip. Grab a pair of pliers and pry off the pointy earring rod that goes through an actual piercing. The earring should just be a plain hoop without anything extra attached. [6]
    • You can find inexpensive hoop earrings online, or at any store that sells jewelry.
  2. Watermark wikiHow to Make a Fake Lip Ring
    Grab a clean emery board or nail file and start buffing the edges of the earring. Focus on making both ends of the ring as smooth as possible, so you don’t cut yourself when you actually wear the ring. [7]
  3. Watermark wikiHow to Make a Fake Lip Ring
    Use the pliers or your fingers to push both ends of the ring together, leaving only a few millimeters of space between both ends of the metal. Don’t leave too much space on your ring, or else it won’t stay put on your lip. [8]
    • It’s okay if the ring isn’t perfectly adjusted at first—you can always tighten or loosen it later on.

    That likely depends on your school’s dress code policies. Some schools might be okay with this, while other schools may not allow extra piercings, even if they’re fake. Talk to a teacher or administrator at your school and see what they say.
