Steps (14 steps, 40 minutes)
-
1
Start off by drawing a template of 3D glasses, remember to make the template a lot bigger than you want the final earrings to be. Cut this out.
-
2
Draw around the template on to the wrong side of white shrink plastic.
-
3
Cut out the white shrink plastic glasses. Use an xacto cutting knife to cut the lens parts out.
-
4
Place small dots of blue tack around the glasses.
-
5
Stick the glasses on to a sheet of clear shrink plastic. Cut around the outside of the glasses through the clear plastic, but don't cut out the lenses.
-
6
Use a hole punch to make a hole through the center of the glasses. Punch through both the white and clear plastic.
-
7
Remove the white from the clear plastic and peel off the blue tack.
-
8
Repeat the previous steps so that you have two sets of glasses.
-
9
Shrink down in an oven until small.
-
10
Cut out small squares of red and blue (or green) acetate to fit behind the glasses as lenses.
-
11
Glue these in place to the clear shrink plastic.
-
12
Glue the white glasses on top of the clear plastic. You've now made a pair of mini 3D glasses.
-
13
Cut a length of chain, attach to a jump ring and attach on to the glasses. Attach an earring hook in the middle of the chain.
-
14
Attach a charm to the loose end of the chain. Repeat this to make a second earring and you're all done.
