DIY: Embellished Sunglasses

February 27th, 2013

yellow floral sunglasses

I’ve been into embellished sunglasses since this past July, but the only pairs that I coveted were way too expensive for such a trendy accessory. Instead of making the splurge or settling for cheap ones I didn’t love, I decided to make my own pair using sunglasses from Urban Outfitters and Forever 21. I chose three classic shapes (cat-eye, aviators, and oversized round glasses) and used a glue gun to adhere a variety of decorative pieces. Each pair cost less than $20 to make and they’ll be a fun departure from all of my other shades for spring.

P.S. If you’re looking for a way to store your sunglasses, here’s a simple solution that you can make yourself.
