Clip On Flip Up Sunglasses

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.

Now the very first thing to do would be to get a pair of old and cheap sunglasses and start taking the arms out with a screwdriver. By doing this, he will be left with just the two lenses of the pair of glasses. Make sure to be very careful with this part because the glasses will become quite fragile.

The next thing to do would get an old paper clip that is rather hard and a pair of pliers. Now the thing that one should do with the paper clip would be to straighten it out using the pliers. Remember to straighten it out slowly and carefully because it is possible that the paper clip might break.

Once he has straightened it out, then the next thing he should do would be to cut the wire in half so that he has two pieces. Now he should take one of the wires and slot it into the place where the arms of the glasses used to be. He should also do the same thing with the other side.

After the wires have been slotted in, then the next thing that one should do would be to actually tie the wires to the holes. The thing about this is that it is very hard to tie the wires by hand because these things are really tough. So in order to make a tight knot, one should use pliers to be able to tie the wire so that it will not be loose later on.

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.

The last thing to do here would be to make a small curve in the middle part so that it can be attached to the glasses. If there is already a small bend, then one should try clipping it on the eyeglasses to check if it looks good. If it looks fine, then one may now go out and start wearing it.

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.
