DIY Dollar Store Sunglasses: Affordable Style Hacks


The temperatures are scorching, and the bright sun is shining-which means there is no better time to show off your sizzling sense of summer style. It's time to get crafty with a new pair of Chanel-inspired DIY sunglasses.

Embellished sunglasses are as easy as gluing on ceramic roses, flowers, pearls, glitter, or whatever reflects your personal style. Using super glue, I lined the frames on a pair of (Dollar Store) sunglasses with pearl-like beads.

Don't want the sticky mess of glue? Pop out the lenses and paint the frames! You can take it to another design level by using nail polish to create intricate designs or paint the glasses two tones for a more fashionable look.

There are so many ways to transform shades. Share your ideas in the comments below, and let us see your crafty sense of style.
