How to Make Your Own 3d Glasses

How to Make Your Own 3d Glassesthumbnail
I'm ready for the movies!

Now your kids can make their own 3D glasses that will easily be the envy of all of their friends.

3D movies continue to be popular, especially among the younger generation. (Just ask all of the Hannah Montana fans!)

This craft is appropriate for all ages. But, younger children will need assistance designing and cutting out their frames.

    Instructions

    Things You'll Need

    • Poster board or card stock
    • Tape
    • Glue
    • Sissors
    • Pencil
    • Paper
    • Sheet of red acetate
    • Sheet of blue acetate
    • Beads or other small decorative items
      • 1

        On a piece of paper, draw the basic design, for your frames. You need to draw the front and two side arm pieces that will hook over your ears, just like regular glasses.

      • 2

        Trace these designs on poster board or cardstock. (Make sure they will fit your face, by measuring as best you can.) Cut out all three pieces. Cut eye holes in the front piece.

      • 3

        Tape the side arms to the front piece, using several pieces of tape for each connection.

      • 4

        Cut out one piece of red acetate and one piece of blue acetate. (They need to be larger than the actual eye holes.) Tape the red piece over the right eye and the blue piece over the left eye.

      • 5

        Decorate the frames with markers, colored glitter, small beads, stickers or anything else that you have on hand.

    Tips & Warnings

    • Depending on the movie, you may have to wear the glasses inside out to see the 3D effect. (Sometimes the colors need to be switched, for the glasses to work.)

    • You can by colored acetate in almost any craft store.

    • Don't make your frame design too fancy. It will be hard to cut out, after it is transferred to the cardstock.
