DIY Dollar Store Sunglasses: Affordable Style Hacks


When the heat is on, and the sun is shining bright, it’s the perfect opportunity to flaunt your unique summer fashion. Why not get creative and craft your own pair of DIY sunglasses inspired by Chanel?

Creating embellished sunglasses is a breeze! Simply attach ceramic roses, flowers, pearls, glitter, or any other embellishments that showcase your flair. For my project, I used super glue to adorn the frames of a pair of inexpensive sunglasses from the Dollar Store with pearl-like beads.

Prefer to skip the glue? Just remove the lenses and give the frames a fresh coat of paint! You can elevate your design using nail polish for detailed patterns or by painting the frames in two complementary colors for a chic twist.

The possibilities for customizing your shades are endless. We’d love to hear your creative ideas in the comments below and see how you express your stylish side!
