I made these for my friend for Christmas. I think they turned out really well and they kind of work if you squint through them.

You Will Need (8 things)

  • White Hama Beads
  • Translucent green Hama Beads
  • Translucent red Hama Beads
  • Square Pegboard
  • Chain
  • Jump Ring(s)
  • Iron
  • Wax Paper

Steps (8 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Take a square pegboard and with white hama beads, make the outline of the glasses. The glasses are 22 beads wide and 8 deep.

  2. 2

    Place another row of white beads on the inside and fill in the middle bridge of the glasses, which should be 5 wide.

  3. 3

    Fill in the right square with translucent green beads.

  4. 4

    Finally, fill in the right square with translucent red beads.

  5. 5

    Cover the design with wax paper and carefully iron on a low heat until all the beads stick together.

  6. 6

    Leave to cool and remove from the pegboard.

  7. 7

    Cut a long length of necklace chain - long enough so that when you have the glasses around your neck you can bring them up to your eyes.

  8. 8

    Pierce through the middle of the beads at the top left and right hand corners and slip through jump rings. Slip on the each side of the chain and close.
