We always claim to see the world through rose colored glasses . . . but how about rose trimmed glasses? In honor of the widespread floral trend and our love of Dolce & Gabbana‘s Baroque-inspired fall collection, we’re DIYing a pair of outrageously fabulous sunglasses using the same charming little ceramic roses from a recent tutorial. These will surely be a pair of shades you won’t go unnoticed in this summer!
You’ll need:
- a pair of sunglasses
- a variety of ceramic roses and flowers
- disposable container or popsicle stick
- a handful of toothpicks
- E6000
Start by squeezing a small amount of E6000 into a disposable container or onto a wooden popsicle stick. I like to use a small amount at a time, as the glue tends to dry quickly. Using the tip of a toothpick, apply a dollop of glue onto the back of the largest ceramic flower. (Click images to enlarge)
Press the flower firmly onto the outer corner of the sunglasses. Hold it in place, for at least a minute, until the glue sets. Working along the top of the glasses, continue to add smaller flowers.
Add a few small flowers down the right side of the glasses. After most of the flowers have set, unfold the sunglasses and add a couple of larger flowers on the temples or arms.
Repeat on the other side and allow to dry for a couple of hours.
Your floral shades are ready to wear!

if you don’t mind me asking, which sizes were the largest roses you used?
Does anyone know where I can buy these ceramic mini flowers? Like where on amazon???
@Oona, links are above in the supply list. I found mine on Etsy. If you just type in “ceramic flowers” or “porcelain flowers” you should be able to find them. Good luck!
