Fake Belly Button Ring

So, all your friends are getting their navels pierced and, although you want to have a belly button ring yourself, you might not actually want to go through the piercing. Its expensive to have the piercing done, but even worse, is the pain. Its agonizing to have a navel piercing but you dont really have to do it. Just fake it! You can quickly have navel accents of jewels or other things, without having the actual belly button piercing. No one will ever know!Have you ever heard someone refer to a belly button as an "outie" or an "innie"? The type of belly button you have makes all the difference. A fake belly button ring works if you have an "innie". That is, your belly button doesnt protrude out from your stomach. An "innie" allows you to seemingly have a navel piercing without the pain and cost.Double-sided tape is just the trick for keeping a jewel or other accent placed in the belly button. You can find the tape at many different stores; purchase a quality tape to make sure your navel rings stay put. The stickier the tape, the better the jewel or ring will stay. Cut a piece of the tape, which produces a square, and round the corners to make a circle, which is a little smaller than a dime. Stick the tape in the belly button, making sure the entire sticky surface is facing outwards.Once you have the tape in place your only problem will be trying to figure out what to wear as the ring. A craft store is just one place where you can find something to use as a navel earring. One beautiful choice is a rhinestone. Available in many colors, shapes, and sizes, a rhinestone sparkles and easily sticks to the double-sided tape, particularly if its a peel-n-stick jewel.A button is another good choice for a belly button ring. The perfect button is a shank button - one that has no holes on top. The shank slides easily and comfortably into the navel, and adheres well to the double-sided tape.Look in a craft store department where miniatures are sold and youll find many more choices for a belly button ring. You can buy a tiny wooden shape, paint it with metallic paint, and make it look like a metal earring. Or, choose a small trinket from the jewelry-making aisle.The dollhouse department offers a wealth of choices for the navel ring. Choose a tiny drawer pull, or something even sillier, like a dollhouse clock face. Have fun with the belly button accent pieces but know something ahead of time: everyone will be asking you where youre getting your unusual belly button rings!
