Happy holiday season, friends! We are officially in December, and I am officially freaked out. Where has 2012 gone? I don't even know. Well, to kick off the holiday season wonderfully, I have a festive diy for you all to try! It involves lots of glitter (one of my fave things), so to find out how to re-vamp the glasses like above, keep on reading ♥ I'd also like to give a big shout-out to my bestie,
Izzy, for helping me with the photos! Her camera is seriously a magical thing.
You will need: strong glue (any sort will do), glitter (get creative and use rainbow if you'd like!), scissors, a palette or plastic plate, newspaper (to keep the area as neat as possible), paintbrush (to apply the glue) and lastly, a pair of sunglasses (I got these from an op-shop this morning for $2!)
Squeeze a small amount of glue onto the palette, as well as glitter (pour out a decent amount, this will make it easier to the dip the glasses into it).
This step is optional, but in case you're a little messy with the glue, you can tape in between the glasses hinge, to protect it.
Begin painting the glue onto the sides, evenly distributing it making sure that there aren't any noticeable clumps.
Sprinkle the glitter! Then, follow on from that by patting the sunglasses into the palette, so the coverage is as even as possible.
Repeat the same process onto the rim of the sunglasses, being careful not to get too much glue on the lens (don't worry if you do though, it can be easily rubbed off after drying with nail polish remover).
And, voila! Now leave them out to dry for at least an hour, then spray them with a fixative to keep the glitter in place. You now have a funky pair of glasses inspired by Miu Miu for
much less. Seen ya'll soon!
Onto some other news: my dance was incredible! I can't wait to show you guys the pictures Sarah, Lauren and I took. They are super lovely! I have a few pictures
