Make a Fish Hook Into a Lip Ring (or Vise Verse)
I got my lip pierced some time ago and decided it would be cool to have a fish hook as a lip ring for this fishing trip I was going on this summer. I looked for various fish hook like lip rings on the internet and didn't really find anything worth getting. So I decided to make one. First I thought about making a fish hook into a lip ring by getting rid of the sharp bits and maybe even adding a lure. Which I'll still do however, fish hooks not being made up of surgical steel this could lead to infection problems.(not to say it won’t work but, it probably shouldn't be worn for a long period of time.) Therefore the other slightly more hygienic solution I came up with is taking an already existing lip ring and attaching a fishing lure to it. Both variations are covered here.
Note: the one with the fish hook kind lays sideways.
Materials
Lip ring (optional) I used a captive ball hoop for mine
sand paper
jewelry glue(optional)
fish hooks ( I got mine with fishing line already attached for 99 cents at Fred Meyer)
fishing lure
fishing line
jewelry pliers and wire cutters
