Making A Pair Of Clip On Flip Up Sunglasses At Home

By Catalina Nielsen


These days, clip on flip up sunglasses are the in thing because not only are they very stylish, but they are also very handy to use as compared to a real pair of sunglasses. The great thing about this type of thing is that one does not necessarily need to buy one because it is so easy to make one right at home. So if one would want to try making one, then here are some instructions how.

The first step would be to get hold of an old pair of sunglasses and use a small screwdriver to take the arms of the glasses out. When one does this, then all that will be left would be a pair of lenses of the sunglasses. Take note that the pair of glasses right now is very delicate and may break if not handled well.

The next step is to grab hold of a paper clip that is quite hard so that the clip will be steady. After this, one should now get some pliers and make it very straight. Always do this very slowly because it is quite possible that the wire will break if handled too fast.

Once he has straightened it out, then the next thing he should do would be to cut the wire in half so that he has two pieces. Now he should take one of the wires and slot it into the place where the arms of the glasses used to be. He should also do the same thing with the other side.

When all of the wires have been slotted into the holes, then the following step to do would be to attach the wires to the holes. In order to do this, one has to use the pliers to bend the wire so that it will be attached to the hole. Make sure to tie it in very tight otherwise the wire will just fall out later on when it is attached to the eyeglasses.

The next thing to do would be to take the two ends of the wiring and try to tie them together in the middle. Take note that the wire has to be attached to the frame of the glasses so that it cannot be seen. When the two ends have been brought to the middle, then try to tie them together.

The last thing to do here would be to make a small curve in the middle part so that it can be attached to the glasses. If there is already a small bend, then one should try clipping it on the eyeglasses to check if it looks good. If it looks fine, then one may now go out and start wearing it.

So basically, that is an easy way on how to make clip on flip up sunglasses. The great thing about making this at home is that it is cheaper than buying one outside. Also, it is more practical than an actual pair of sunglasses because it is smaller and it will not get spoiled easily.
