Materials You’ll Need
- Small, plier-friendly wire
- Wire cutters
- Round-nose pliers
- Makeup remover
- Antiseptic solution
- Adhesive putty or double-sided tape
Step 1: Measure Your Nose
First, measure the width of your nose where you want the piercing to sit. Use a soft measuring tape or a piece of string, and then measure it against a ruler. This will help you determine the appropriate length of wire needed for your fake septum piercing.
Step 2: Cut the Wire
Take your plier-friendly wire and use the wire cutters to cut a piece that matches the measurement you took in the previous step. Make sure to cut the wire at a 90-degree angle.
Step 3: Bend the Wire
Next, use the round-nose pliers to bend both ends of the wire. Aim for a small loop on each end, ensuring they are symmetrical.
Step 4: Clean Your Nose
Before wearing the fake septum piercing, make sure to clean your nose thoroughly using makeup remover. This step will remove any oils or residues that could affect the adhesive putty or tape’s effectiveness.
Step 5: Apply Adhesive
Take a small piece of adhesive putty or double-sided tape and apply it to the inner side of one of the wire loops. Make sure the adhesive is secure but not too noticeable.
Step 6: Put on the Fake Septum Piercing
Gently insert one end of the wire loop into one nostril, followed by the other end into the opposite nostril. Adjust the position to your liking, ensuring it sits comfortably on your nose.
