Description

Instructions

  1. Small 11103

    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. Small 13468

    Draw around the template on to the wrong side of white shrink plastic.

  3. Small 13469

    Cut out the white shrink plastic glasses. Use an xacto cutting knife to cut the lens parts out.

  4. Small 13470

    Place small dots of blue tack around the glasses.

  5. Small 13471

    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. Small 13472

    Use a hole punch to make a hole through the center of the glasses. Punch through both the white and clear plastic.

  7. Small 13473

    Remove the white from the clear plastic and peel off the blue tack.

  8. Small 13474

    Repeat the previous steps so that you have two sets of glasses.

  9. Small 13475

    Shrink down in an oven until small.

  10. Small 13476

    Cut out small squares of red and blue (or green) acetate to fit behind the glasses as lenses.

  11. Small 13477

    Glue these in place to the clear shrink plastic.

  12. Small 13478

    Glue the white glasses on top of the clear plastic. You've now made a pair of mini 3D glasses.

  13. Small 13479

    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. Small 13481

    Attach a charm to the loose end of the chain. Repeat this to make a second earring and you're all done.
