WHAT YOU’LL NEED
Plus whatever you have in your craft stash, including (but by no means limited to):
Most important pro tip
Experiment and go crazy—the templates are just jumping-off points. Glue stuff on. Glue more stuff on. You’re not going to make a mistake. They’re wild Pride sunglasses.
We started with the rainbow hearts look.
Then added strips of glitter tape that matched the colours on our print for extra sparkle.
If you’re using glue, it’s best to dot it around the edge of your sunglasses, so you don’t obstruct your vision. Also easier to remove!
We accented this pair with a triangle featuring the additional colours of the Progress Pride Flag.
Of course, we have a version in transgender Pride Flag colours…with bonus glitter-glue accents on the white stripes.
Gemstones make excellent add-ons. And you can spell out any message or name you want in alphabet beads.
To give your pom-pom clouds some dimension, start by gluing a base layer of poms to the sunglasses. Then put a dot of hot glue on a pom-pom and pop a few more on top.
