Jeepers Creepers, Festival Peepers!

These sunglasses were so easy to pimp and so much fun to wear, so I made another pair this afternoon. All you need is:
  • 1 pair or sunglasses (the top pair were £3 from M&S and the bottom are an old £2 pair from Primark)
  • Some stick on gems (£1 per pack at Tesco)
  • All purpose glue
  • ...and if you want, some glitter

Step one: Pick out and organise the gems you want to stick on, play with patterns and ideas until you create a solid design.

Step two: Apply glue to the first eye and attach gems

(...make any minor adjustments if you need to while the glue is still tacky)

Step three: Repeat on the other side!

 The beauty of stick on gems are their versatility, the amber glasses I just made are a more classy style because of the colour and shape of the gems and also the frame itself. If you wanted to make a more fun pair, like the bottom set, use bigger, brighter and interesting gems on a bolder frame. If you want to experiment even more, then nail varnish the gems with a solid opaque colour before you attach them.


Have fun! xx
