Welcome to part 1,355 of my 2,000 part series: “In which Alex covers everything she owns with gold glitter”. In today’s episode, a nearly forgotten pair of sunglasses is not safe from my gold glitter obsession.
1. First I sanded the plastic frames of the glasses with a nail file in order to make a rougher surface for the glue to stick to. Then I coated the frames with gold glitter glue (which I bought in a 3-pack at the Dollar Store).
2. Then I poured loose gold glitter into a paper plate, and dipped the still-wet-glue covered frames gently into the glitter, being sure to coat them as evenly as possible.
4. I allowed the glue/glitter to dry overnight, and then shook off any loose glitter left. Finally, I went over the glitter frames with clear nail polish, and added extra flakes of glitter here and there as needed.
5. And then, I looked awesome. Elton John, you’re my inspiration for life!
The end!

Very chic! Elton would give his approval if he only knew!
THOSE LOOK LIKE THE MIU MIU SUNNIES, BUT ABOUT $300 CHEAPER!!! You’re my hero.
You’re so creative ! These turned out really cool – what a great idea! Looking forward to more episodes – interested to see what you cover in glitter next!
Hope you’re having a great week!

Awesome diy! Does the glitter ever flake off?
Thanks dear! It hasn’t yet – the clear nail polish really helped to set the glitter! I’m using clear nailpolish as my glitter project topcoat for everything now!
{Yes, I do a lot of DIY’s with glitter
