Summer fun: DIY sunglasses!

Good Morning! How was your weekend? Ours was wonderful and inspiring! Today's blog is going to be a tad bit different... We're going a bit DIY on all of you. Keep reading for a fun project that's sure to bring you some joy and flair to your summer wardrobe!

Did you know that YouTube is a great place to turn to for fashion and beauty tips? We love to browse around and see all the creative videos that various "beauty gurus" upload. That's where we found this fun project!

Embellished sunglasses are something we see all the time, even on the runway! Lucky Magazine shared some of their favorites recently. We love them! They add an element of fun and whimsy to any outfit. Do you want the look but don't want to shell out big bucks for a pair? We have the perfect project for you!

Youtuber Stilababe09 shared this incredibly fun project! All you will need is a pair of sunglasses. This a great way to up cycle a pair you already own. Or pick up a cheap pair! This basic square shaped pair are only $5.80 from Forever21!

Then hit up your local craft store and pick out some small embellishments. Online stores also carry unique embellishments. We found these adorable resin roses on Etsy! Also, studs or rhinestones would be a great alternative if you're not a flower person.

And then you simply heat up your hot glue gun and go to town! Glue your embellishments on the top of the glasses! Or for a more subtle look, glue them on the arms of the glasses. They are your own creation! And just like that, you have a new pair of sunnies for spring and summer!

If you decide to take on this project, be sure to tweet us a picture with the hash tag "summerfunwithTLS"! We can't wait to see what you come up with!
