Alternative Uses for Sunglasses?

I wasn't really sure where to put this...but because I already have the sunglasses, I suppose this is green?

I have a crapton of sunglasses that I can't wear because I don't wear contacts and, well, If I wear non-prescription sunglasses I can't see.

My question is, what can I do with all these sunglasses?? Most/all of them are cheap plastic ones.

I already take my 3D glasses and paint them (ex the ones from SAW 3D that I'm wearing in my profile pic), I guess I was looking for something else to do with them.

After "Internetting" for a while I only found one thing, I have other ideas but I only found one tutorial

Like I said, I have plenty of other ideas, I just have to figure out how to say them so you can understand them.. (I'm extremely bad at that)

Also! A way to challenge yourself would be to go on the internet and get pictures of really expensive sunglasses, and try to re-create them..

Picture frames are good just pop out the lenses and stick pictures behind them, you could repaint them and sell them I've also seen necklaces made out of them
