Want to spruce up some of those free advertising sunglasses? Here’s a DIY to turn them into musical fashion statements!

Supplies:
sunglasses
white embroidery floss
tube beads in black or similar color
white thread
needle (that will fit through beads)
glue (I used super glue, but you could also try craft glue or hot glue)
Wrap white embroidery floss around one of the earpieces of the sunglasses. Use your glue of choice to secure the beginning and the end.
Secure the tails further by hand stitching them onto the wrapped embroidery floss.
Hand stitch beads on in pattern that mimics the black keys on the piano.
All that’s left is to sport your new glasses in the summer sun! Where would you like to wear these? Be sure to tag me or use #Fischarper if you post pictures of your upcycled sunglasses!
