Fabric Covered Sunglasses

I've got another sunglass refashion for you.  You will need:
  • Scrap fabric
  • Scissors
  • Hot glue gun
  • Sunglasses (the cheaper the better!)
 This sleeve gives you a little sneak peek of a project I've been working on.


I popped the lenses out of the sunglasses.


I glued the fabric to the outside frame of the glasses and cut around the frame, leaving about a quarter of an inch of material.  I folded this material down around the back of the frame and glued it down.  I then cut out the material inside the frame so that I could pop the lenses back in.


After popping the lenses back in, you can either leave the earpieces bare or cover these with fabric.  It looks good both ways but I decided to cover mine.  You just need to glue the material to the earpiece.  Make sure there is enough material to fold around the whole earpiece when you cut it out. 


And there you have it!  Fabric covered sunglasses!
