DIY Sunglasses


After posting my look for the Redrock Vintage Blogger Competition I've been dying to do this DIY, it's such a cool way to make any old pair of sunnies look new and just generally more awesome...I decided to make my plain black New Look ones look all prettiful and got these 3D flower decorations from Michael's (a US craft store) along with some stick on pearls and rhinestones. All I did was simply arrange the decorations how I wanted them and then stuck them on with super glue - tweezers were my best friend in this operation! I'm so, so happy with how they turned out - I've been wearing them whenever I go outside (even in this miserable English weather) and I've taken some photos with them so they'll be posted soon!  

I'm still trying to film a haul video for you guys...it's taking forever because I'm having some problems with photo booth software on my mac :( Hopefully it'll get fixed and I can post my haul this week - if not I'll just borrow my boyfriend's laptop and film on there!

Love Ellen xx
