Elton John/ Dame Edna/ Crazy Glasses



Here are some crazy glasses, what more do I need to say.










What you need:
  • Cardboard
  • Bendy Straws
  • Coloured cellophane
  • Coloured Paper
  • Crepe or Tissue paper (crepe paper rolls are good)
  • Sellotape
  • Scissors
  • Glue stick
  • Pencil
  • Glitter etc

This is what you do: draw a shape for the front of the glasses and cut out of cardboard. Tape cellophane to the back of the glasses so you can see through it, then decorate the front of the glasses with whatever you want (coloured paper, glitter, whatever). Pick up a bendy straw, bend the bendy bit and put that bit behind your ear, then hold the decorated glasses up to your face to work out how long the straw needs to be so that the glasses will sit right on your face. Cut both straws the same and cover with crepe of tissue paper, I use crepe paper rolls because it's easy. Next you need to tape the ends of the straws to the back of the glasses, this can be tricky so don't worry if you need to use alot of tape to get it to hold. When finished put your glasses on and look cool like me, he he

i really like your painting and your snowflakes. we had a ball a couple of months ago and we made lots of snowflakes to hang from the ceiling but they were nowhere near as cool as yours. next time, i intend to employ your skills of an artist...
