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.

Description

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.

Instructions

  1. Small 3d1 1261409868

    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. Small 3d2 1261409966

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

  3. Small 3d3 1261410012

    Fill in the right square with translucent green beads.

  4. Small 3d4 1261410255

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

  5. Small 3d5 1261410298

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

  6. Small 3d6 1261410384

    Leave to cool and remove from the pegboard.

  7. Small 3d7 1261410613

    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. Small 3d8 1261410702

    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.
