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.

The first step would be to get hold of an old pair of sunglasses and use a small screwdriver to take the arms of the glasses out. When one does this, then all that will be left would be a pair of lenses of the sunglasses. Take note that the pair of glasses right now is very delicate and may break if not handled well.

After that, find a hard paper clip that does not move easily when bended. The reason why one must find a hard paper clip wire is so that it will be steady enough to support itself when attached to the eyeglasses. So now when one finds such a wire, he has to make it straight using some pliers.

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.

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.

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.
