DIY: Floral Sunglasses

I love sunglasses, almost as much as I love nail polish.  Over the years I've amassed a fairly sizable collection of sunglasses, although not as vast as my polish collection, but I digress.

While reading a magazine the other day I came across an ad for Ciate's Flower Manicure and fell in love with the sunnies the model was wearing in the ad.  Then I had a thought!  I have a ton of sunnies and I've grown a little bored of a couple of them, why not breathe new life into one instead of attempting to hunt down the pair I saw.

Inspiration:


What you need:


  • Sunglasses ( of course)
  • Flowers, any type of your choosing (I used polyester flowers I found at Michael's)
  • Glue (I used E6000, but it can be done with a glue gun
  • Toothpicks
  • Popsicle stick or plastic sheet

Let's begin:


Squeeze a bit of the glue (if you are using E6000) on to a small plastic sheet or a popsicle stick (something disposable).  I suggest using small amount at a time as the glue dries fairly quickly.  Apply a bit of glue to the bottom of your flower.


Press the flower to the frame and hold in place until the glue sets, about a minute or so.


Unfold the sunglasses and continue adding flowers around the frame.


Allow the glue to dry for a couple hours.


Now they are ready to wear.
