In this tutorial, I’m going to show you how to use jump rings to make fake piercing jewelry. This is a simple and affordable way to fake piercings and the possibilities are limitless. You can make a fake septum piercing, a fake ear piercing, fake ear cuff earrings, and even fake lip piercings! Let’s get started.

Tools and materials:

  • Jump rings
  • Chain
  • Earring hooks
  • Pliers
Fake ear cuff earrings

Ear cuffs:

1. Pick out your jump rings

The jump rings you use will depend on the size of the area you plan on putting them. For earring cuffs, the small ones will work very well. The bigger ones will come in handy for nose rings as they’re quite big and strong compared to the small ones. 

2. Open and place

For the small ones, you can separate them with your hands or use a pair of pliers to help open them up. Open up the rest of them, but don’t make the spaces too big.

Then, just fit them to the size of your earlobe. You can leave them like this, or you can attach the jump rings to the chain. I’ll show you how to do that next.
