One of the popular trends in eye wear these days are known as the clip on flip up sunglasses because these things can actually replace actual sunglasses with the same quality. Now one many do not know is that it is actually possible to make this kind of accessory instead of going out to a store and buying one. Now if one is interested in trying to create one of these things, then try following some of these steps.

Now the very first thing to do would be to get a pair of old and cheap sunglasses and start taking the arms out with a screwdriver. By doing this, he will be left with just the two lenses of the pair of glasses. Make sure to be very careful with this part because the glasses will become quite fragile.

The next thing to do would get an old paper clip that is rather hard and a pair of pliers. Now the thing that one should do with the paper clip would be to straighten it out using the pliers. Remember to straighten it out slowly and carefully because it is possible that the paper clip might break.

When the wire has been straightened, then one should get a pair of tough scissors and try to cut the wire into two. Then the next thing to do would be to get a wire and try to put it into the hole where the arms of the glasses was taken out. He must also do this for the other hole.

After the wires have been slotted in, then the next thing that one should do would be to actually tie the wires to the holes. The thing about this is that it is very hard to tie the wires by hand because these things are really tough. So in order to make a tight knot, one should use pliers to be able to tie the wire so that it will not be loose later on.

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.

When a small knot has already been formed, then the next part would be to curve the wire a little bit. This little curve will be the one that will be attached to the very center of the glasses. When everything fits well, then it may now be worn outside.

So basically, that is an easy way on how to make clip on flip up sunglasses. The great thing about making this at home is that it is cheaper than buying one outside. Also, it is more practical than an actual pair of sunglasses because it is smaller and it will not get spoiled easily.
