How To Make Clip On Flip Up Sunglasses

By Catalina Nielsen


These days, clip on flip up sunglasses are the in thing because not only are they very stylish, but they are also very handy to use as compared to a real pair of sunglasses. The great thing about this type of thing is that one does not necessarily need to buy one because it is so easy to make one right at home. So if one would want to try making one, then here are some instructions how.

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.

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.

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.

From there, take the two ends and place them in the center top part of the glasses. Always remember to embed the wires to the frame to make sure that the wire will be invisible to the eyes of the public. Once this is done, tie the two ends together in order to make a small clip in the middle.

Finally, curve the top a little bit so that there is a small clip like part. This part will be the one that will latch itself on to the glasses in order for it to be attached there. When all of the steps have been made, try wearing it on front of a mirror and see how it looks.

So as one can see, it is actually very easy to make a pair of clip on flip up sunglasses. The great thing about this device is that it is very practical because it is easier to use than a normal pair of sunglasses. It is also much cheaper to make one at home because the ones outside are very expensive.
