Tips and Tricks
  1. Start by gathering all the materials you'll need for this project.

  2. Use the tweezers to pick up a rhinestone or bead.

  3. Apply a small amount of glue to the back of the rhinestone or bead using a toothpick or applicator brush. Be sure not to use too much glue, as it can make a mess.

  4. Carefully place the rhinestone or bead onto the frame of the sunglasses. Hold it in place for a few seconds to allow the glue to dry.

  5. Continue adding rhinestones or beads in a pattern or design of your choice. You can experiment with different colors and sizes to create a unique look.

  6. Once you've finished adding all your embellishments, allow the glue to dry completely. This can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the type of glue you used.

  7. Once the glue is dry, use a clean toothpick or cotton swab to remove any excess glue that may have seeped out from underneath the rhinestones or beads.

  8. Finally, use a clean, dry paper towel to gently wipe down the sunglasses and remove any fingerprints or smudges.

Conclusion

  • If you don't have tweezers, you can use the tip of the toothpick or applicator brush to pick up the rhinestones or beads.

  • Be sure to work in a well-lit area to avoid any mistakes.

  • Don't rush the drying process; it's important to allow the glue to dry completely before wearing the sunglasses.

  • Experiment with different designs and patterns to create a look that's uniquely yours.

Embellished sunglasses are a fun and trendy way to spice up your summer wardrobe. With just a few materials and some creativity, you can transform a plain pair of sunglasses into a fashion statement that's all your own. So try out this easy DIY project and make your mark on the fashion world!
