DIY STRIPED SUNGLASSES

A fun contrast stripe will make basic sunglasses really stand out and you’ll be on trend for summer with this DIY Blue & White Striped Sunglasses tutorial.

PAINT SOME STRIPES >

My inspiration to make these sunglasses came from the cute striped sunglasses by Dolce and Gabbana. As much as I love them, for trendy sunglasses I just cant bring myself to pay the price, especially when you can make your own for under $20!

TOOLS & MATERIALS:

• 1 Pair sunglasses (mine are c/o Sunglass Warehouse)
• Nail polish (I used L’oreal #540 ‘jet set to paris’)
• Tape

step 1
Decide how you want to paint your stripes.

How wide, how many and placement.

step 2
Cut small pieces of tape and place them across the front and top of your sunglasses.

TIP: Make sure your tape is very smooth and secure on your sunglasses, you dont want the nail polish to bleed under your tape.

step 3
Paint your stripes using your nail polish.

Let dry

Paint more coats until your color looks the way you want.

step 4
When your nail polish is dry peel off your tape.

This is a quick and simple way to jazz up your sunglasses for summer. Take an old pair you have and improve them or get some new ones to add to your collection.
