I kind of tend to make things complicated. I think it may be a symptom of being a diehard DIYer. You know, like why-buy-when-I-could-make kind of thing. Anyone else have this problem?
Anyway – the point is that every once in a while I just need a simple, quick project that is done in 30 minutes but is still awesome. This is that project: DIY Glitter Sunnies.
Totally easy peasy. Completely sparkly. I’ve been wearing these shades for weeks now, and I have received lots of compliments.
Here’s what you will need to make your own:
Start off by using painter’s tape to tape off any part of the glasses you don’t want to be covered in glitter (including the lenses!). I used my tape to create a straight line across the front of the glasses, and then filled in the rest.
Next, I covered the top portion of the glasses with decoupage. (Try not to get decoupage on the tape because if you do, when you pull the tape off it could take some of your glitter off with it.)
Then, sprinkle your glitter all over the decoupaged area. Gently tap off any excess.
Give the decoupage some time to dry, and then cover the glitter with a thin layer of gloss decoupage. Again, try to avoid getting decoupage on the tape. Peel off the tape before the decoupage has dried completely.
Let it dry completely, and that’s it! Wear your glittery new sunnies with pride because they are totally awesome (and were so easy to make!).
