| So these are the glasses I started with:
I wasn’t a fan of how they looked on me so they had been sitting in my cupboard since I did the original post. No point having them there if I’m never going to wear them so I got to work and this is what came out:
Perfect for the diy at home purikura booth I’m planning to rig up for a tea party :D
What I used:
- Sunglasses
- Deco supplies: diamantes, bows, stars etc
- Epoxy glue
- Pliers
First thing to do was poke out the lenses, they were really hard to break so I ended up moving the metal frames with the pliers and then forcing them free.
Lens free!
Then it was a metter of changing the shape to something a bit more suitable for my face. I achieved this by using some pliers and bending the metal into a more flat square shape. I also bent the curve around the face so it was much flatter.
One on the right done, left untouched:
Happy with the shape now, super old man style ^_^
Then I decided what I wanted the feature piece to be. I used a bow that came off a pair of Bodyline shoes.
I picked a couple of different jewels and cabachons to experiment on a style with.
I laid out the rest of the jewels to decide on the design next!
And after that it was just a matter of mixing up the glue and sticking it all down.
The top section was done first…
The around the bottoms:
I did the bottom in smaller sections because the rims were thin so I needed to wait for the glue to be tacky and balance the jewels in place. Lastly I added a little butterfly over the bow to cover the ugly string.
Last thing I did was add matching jewels to the side while making sure not to prevent the arms from opening/clothing.
From the back…
And the front…
Pretty damn happy with the result! They are super huge, super over the top and super awesome as a blingy accessory :D
Ridiculous bling for the win ^_^ And to show how ridiculously huge these really are, here’s a crappy phone photo from 2am after I made them!
What do you guys think? Love or hate glasses?

These are the cutest things ever! I have a real soft spot for retro glasses/funky glasses. So these are the best! I really want to make a pair!
:D You should make some!
GAH!!!! it’s tooo cute!~ >_<"
XD Thank you!
These are so cute! I’m going to go rummage for my old pairs of sunglasses right now! ^___^
Thank you! Let me know if you do it!
Love them! But I love deco anything so, yeah, haha :)
Haha not surprised XD
They are so crazy over the top that they work. Having self-made props for a homemade photobooth is absolutely genius. Are you using your computer for the picture taking? Or a camera?
I’m planning to rig up a camera to an external screen, it’s going to be epic!
I Love these!!!!! Oh my lord I don’t think you know how much I love these and want a pair for myself….o.o
DO IT!!! *bad influence*
it’s lovely^^! really cute!
Thanks Bianca!
I’m in love with these! I really do wish that my prescription glasses looked like these. I’d wear my contact lenses a lot less often if I had a blinged up pair of specs.
XD me too! I want to deco my real glasses but the frames are so thin I don’t think they could hold the jewels!
SOOO Adorable!
Thanks Cassie!
So cute! ^_^
Thank you!
These are super awesome!! XDD I pretty much like everything decoed…
Haha me too!
Oh wow, these are amazing!! XD
I could totally see you rocking these!
They ARE huge. Definitely an improvement from before.
They are pretty epically big XD
They are so much better now since you decoed them, oh man because before they looked like they belonged to Erik Estrada from Chips Patrol. LOL
