Sunday is a fun day and what is more fun than fashionable arts and crafts! πππ
I wanted to make these for a whileΒ πππ and finally got around buying the crystals, as for the rest all you need is a glue gun those old sunglasses you no longer wear, so they are just lying around the house (just make sure they have a good 400 IU lense, as you should always protect your eyes)! π
Select a shade of crystals that you want to be gluing to your shades (try starting with just 1 color on your first pair)! The simplest design to start with is just doing gluing the crystals along the upper rim of the frames (see the blue pair) and then you can do the side sticks. πππ
You can also choose to only bling up the corners of your sunglasses! In fact, I just love how these cat eyes sparkled spades turned out! πππ
When you are ready to make something more glamorous, try a butterfly design! Start from the nose piece, then symmetrically work the sides of the lenses from upper corner to the lower one! If you want continue on to the side sticks! πΒ These are definitely much more daring and my girlfriends call them ‘Hollywood’, but if you are as crazy as me, you can totally pull them off! πππ
So no matter how crazy you want your shades to be, these are definitely beautiful and so much fun to make! Best part you recycle something you already own and make a unique couture piece of art! So what are you waiting for?! Get your supplies and have fun blinging your pair up! πππ
