"Funky" eye glasses

This is a fun craft for Sparks, Brownies and Guides.

  • Cardstock - any colour
  • Cellophane
  • narrow elastic
  • scissors
  • things to decorate with - sparkles, feathers, wool, sparkle glue, scraps of fabric, pens
  • glue

Cut the front of the glasses out of the cardstock (this could be done in advance for the very young girls)

Cut the eye holes out - make the eye holes big but make sure there is enough frame to hold the glasses together.

If you want glue cellophane on the back of the eyehole to make the lenses.

Poke hole on either side to thread elastic through

Thread a piece of elastic long enough to hold the glasses on tight but be able to stretch to get them on easily through the holes, tying knots to keep it in place.

Decorate the glasses any way you want - let everyone be very creative.

Have everyone model their glasses!
