DIY Floral Sunglasses

Posted by on

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:

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!

    Hello Everyone! Erica purchased these gorgeous ceramic flowers from my Etsy shop at Antiqued.Etsy.com!

    I have sold out of a lot of them but have ordered more and should have them in about a week! So, if you’d like to reserve some so that you can get them shipped to you as soon as I have more, just visit my Etsy shop and leave me an email…thanks! I’m so honored that she has found such an awesome use for these beautiful ceramic flowers!

    if you don’t mind me asking, which sizes were the largest roses you used?

  85. Oona    March 28, 2013

    Does anyone know where I can buy these ceramic mini flowers? Like where on amazon???

  86. Erica    March 28, 2013

    @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!
