DIY: Embellished Sunglasses
Embellished sunglasses. Enough said.
I fell in love with the Dsquared2 embellished shades (here) the second I saw them. I even obsessed (in a “good girl gone bad” kinda way) over the Mercura glasses Rihanna wore during her London BBC Radio 1 Summer concert (here). Embellished sunglasses have become my new thing, honey!
I could resist adding a little razzle dazzle to my H&M sunnies. So chic and so easy…
Materials: Sunglasses, Seed Beads, Glue, Clear Finger Nail Polish
Since the seed beads will be the major focal point this project be sure you pick a color that accentuates your frames. You can purchase seed beads by the bundle at a bead store. Also, most fabric stores sell by the tube in an array of colors. Pick the smallest size bead for the best results.
Add a layer of glue to the area of the glasses you would like to embellish.
Bedazzle! Hurry while the glue is still wet and apply the beads to your glasses.
Allow the glue a second to dry, then apply a coat of clear polish to set the beads in place. Let it dry.
Why haven’t I thought of that? They are so cute!

Great look! I want to try this. What kind of glue did you use?
August 14, 2012 at 6:42 am
E6000!

Adorable! Totally stealing this!

Very cute idea with the beads!! I put army men on each end of a pair!! LOL

This is so cool! I have those sunnies in sea foam (I refuse to call it “mint”; that’s a fad) and how great do yours look!? Great color combo choice.
August 14, 2012 at 8:34 am
OMG! I stood in the mirror at H&M for 20 mins trying to decide between the pink and the sea foam. LOL I’ll prob go back get the sea foam and use silver beads!

These look bomb! Another great post!

Wow ! nice looking Sunglasses…Fashionable, glare reducing and they fit and feel great! I highly recommend them to everyone I know!

So easy and they look great! I’m going to do this to my reading glasses. Thanks so much!
August 16, 2012 at 8:10 am
I MUST do this to a pair of my cheap shades. (Gotta test it out on the cheapies first because I’m known to totally mess up DIY projects).

I love these, but I wonder if there is a better glue than D6000? Almost all my DIY embellishment projects have had their jewels and beads fall off, and I’m constantly re-gluing. Any suggestions?
August 16, 2012 at 4:24 pm
Really?!?! I’ve tried lots of different glues and E6000 is my fave! I prob use it the most. After E6000 my other fave glue is Aleene’s Quick Dry Tacky glue. Give that one a try
