Sparkly Flower Sunglasses
You will need:
- A pair of sunglasses that have pronounced end pieces (like cat-eye glasses)
- Resin flowers (find them on Amazon or Etsy)
- A hot glue gun
- Gold metallic spray paint
- Gold glitter spray paint
1. Carefully pop the lenses out of your glasses. Set them aside.
2. Spray paint one coat of metallic gold on the frames and flowers (How smart is Hansen, btw? I now do all my spray-painting inside a cardboard box). Let dry completely. Add another coat if you need to to make sure the frames are totally covered.
3. Spray paint the gold glitter on the frames and flowers. I’ve used this spray paint a couple of times in the past, and I’ve found it lands the most glitter when used in short bursts. Apply as many coats as you want (with dry time between each) to reach desired level of bling.
4. Using your hot glue gun, attach the flowers to the end pieces.
5. Pop your lenses back in and you’re done!
