DIY Glitter Sunglasses
I have a little bit of an obsession with glitter. It isn’t like I use it all the time, but I have this weird desire when I see it. I need to get my hands on it and own it. Sort of the same way I am about books and paint. It took me a long time to fall in love with the library because every time I wanted a book, I wanted to own it, not just borrow it. I’m over that now. But when I see glitter I have to possess it. So to help ease my obsession I decided to make some DIY Glitter Sunglasses.
How to Make DIY Glitter Sunglasses
The formula is simple. Find yourself some cheap sunglasses you like. I got mine at Target for about $8.00. Then get yourself some fun, sparkly glitter. I couldn’t resist this pack of twelve chunky glitters from Recollections. For this project I opted for the copper color on the tortoise shell glasses and Ebony on the black glasses. Lastly you need some Modge Podge and a small paint brush to apply the Modge Podge. I used Mod Podge Gloss
for this project. DO NOT use the Matte Modge Podge as it will dull the glitter.

Print DIY Glitter Sunglasses Ingredients- sunglasses
- Modge Podge gloss
- paint brush
- glitter
- sanding block
- Using the paint brush apply a light layer of the Modge Podge to the outside ear pieces of the sunglasses.
- While the Modge Podge is wet, sprinkle the glitter over the entire area.
- Allow to air dry.
- Once dry, apply another thin layer of the Modge Podge to the top of the glitter to seal it and keep the glitter from falling off.
- Allow to dry completely.
- Check the underside of the ear pieces for glitter and use the sanding block to sand it away so it does not irritate your ears.
