Embellished shades are a must have accessory for every fashion savvy gal! The awesome thing about this project is you can salvage an old pair of sunglasses and upgrade them with random knickknacks for the cost of practically nothing! This is a super easy and fun project, and within thirty minutes you'll have that crazy, eccentric style that you have been thriving for with your customized bad boys. Lets get started!!
What you'll need:
- An old pair of sunglasses
-An assortment of decorative pieces: skulls, bullet cases, rhinestones, faux pearls, and whatever else your heart desires!
-Hot glue gun
-Tweezers
Keep in mind when doing this project that no surface of your glasses is off limits! Feel free to let your creativity run wild! Now to start off your project collect all the small trinkets you want to put on your glasses, I gathered most of my goods over time from local businesses around Denver including Buffalo Exchange, Flossy McGrew's, Oors Trading Post, and random antique stores. I'm certain though that you can find the perfect accessories at your local craft store.
So the process begins! Grab your hot glue gun and squirt a small dot onto the frame of your glasses, take your tweezers and apply your trinket, hold it there for a few seconds until it feels secure. Repeat this process until you have fully embellished sunnies!
Kablam! Now that you have a super rad pair of sunglasses, hit the streets and flaunt your style!
**Editors Note** If you have the extra cash it is recommended that you buy jewelry adhesive instead of hot glue for a maximum lifespan on your newly bedazzled sunglasses.
