Making A Pair Of Clip On Flip Up Sunglasses At Home

By Catalina Nielsen


One of the popular trends in eye wear these days are known as the clip on flip up sunglasses because these things can actually replace actual sunglasses with the same quality. Now one many do not know is that it is actually possible to make this kind of accessory instead of going out to a store and buying one. Now if one is interested in trying to create one of these things, then try following some of these steps.

One can make one of these things out of some cheap sunglasses that he can just buy anywhere in stores that sell cheap items. Once he gets his hands on one, then he needs to take the screws out of the part that attaches the arms of the glasses. Remember that when one does this, the pair will not be steady anymore.

After that, find a hard paper clip that does not move easily when bended. The reason why one must find a hard paper clip wire is so that it will be steady enough to support itself when attached to the eyeglasses. So now when one finds such a wire, he has to make it straight using some pliers.

After making the wire straight, take a pair of scissors and cut the wire in the middle until it becomes two. From there, one must now place one wire into the hole at the sides of the glasses. After that, he should take the other piece of wire and do the exact same thing.

When all of the wires have been slotted into the holes, then the following step to do would be to attach the wires to the holes. In order to do this, one has to use the pliers to bend the wire so that it will be attached to the hole. Make sure to tie it in very tight otherwise the wire will just fall out later on when it is attached to the eyeglasses.

The next thing to do would be to take the two ends of the wiring and try to tie them together in the middle. Take note that the wire has to be attached to the frame of the glasses so that it cannot be seen. When the two ends have been brought to the middle, then try to tie them together.

When a small knot has already been formed, then the next part would be to curve the wire a little bit. This little curve will be the one that will be attached to the very center of the glasses. When everything fits well, then it may now be worn outside.

So if one is interested in making this thing, try following these steps to making clip on flip up sunglasses. This is guaranteed to be better than buying a new pair because it is cheaper and easier to use. It will also not get broken easily like an actual pair of sunglasses.
