SUNNY DIY
Nonsense, "she's cracked", I know you're thinking that... But I can't take it anymore, I want sun, so I tell myself that by "making" my glasses, at least I'll be ready, and I'm not talking about a day of sun, no, I want it to arrive, put down its little suitcases, settle in quietly and stay for at least 4 months. Otherwise it's simple, I'll move out, yes it's a threat, perfectly. But I'll sell a kidney so I can sleep with the window open and not catch pneumonia, or make a bonfire with my opaque tights... Anyway, if he ever decides to arrive, we'll be ready, at least if you've been around. I'm an undisputed Sonia Rykiel fan, my credit card much less so... And a few seasons ago I saw these glasses HEREUnfortunately, I didn't have 350 euros to spend on a pair of sunglasses as crazy as these, but if I'd had the means, I wouldn't have hesitated for a moment! So here's an inexpensive DIY of the Sonia sunglasses and a softer variation. Of course, this customization is infinitely adaptable... As usual, have fun!
For this unlikely DIY you'll need..: A pair of (cheap) sunglasses, - Scotch green glue, - pearly half-pearls (from the drugstore or scrapbooking aisle, but I'll come back to that...)
To get started, grab a pair of inexpensive sunglasses (H&M does this very well, or you can even find some wonderful ones at the market...). Pull out the green glue, and turn your half-beads over fig 2. To return to the subject of half-beads, the other day, I called the drugstore to ask if I could drop in for a "shopping spree", just like in the good old days when I used to do DIY for Muteen magazine. The idea is cool: you advertise the store and in exchange they lend or give you what you need, and I don't know if you've ever been to the droguerie, but it's hell: you buy 3 pearls and 2 sequins and you get 42 euros, so a "press shopping" is always welcome... Anyway, the person in charge of shopping tells me that no, he doesn't work with blogs (too bad for my credit card), but that if I want to go to the drugstore, it's 0.60 for half a pearly pearl... Thanks a lot. I was going to go there for you, I was too keen to make this DIY, and then my path crossed the scrap booking aisle at rougié & plé, I never thought I'd say this, but THANK YOU scrapbooking... yes, yes, the pack of 35 half pearls: 3.10 € banco! For the trouble I took 2 different sizes ... So yes the drugstore is sublime, we want to buy everything but the scrapbooking department of rougié et plé is scary, but good for morale because not frustrated and not broke ... end of this "half-pearl" digression, but I still had to tell you about it... Now that you're ready, glue the pearls onto the frame with just a touch of glue fig 3,4,5 and repeat the operation on the second glass... fig 6. And I think most people will prefer the softer mount below, well, it's the same thing but with smaller beads! The fastest DIY in history! A thousand baci!
and ok, now I'm showing off with my fake real Sonia with lemon... I'm SO happy!
