How to Make 3D Glasses for Concerts
3D (three-dimensional) glasses create the effect that the show being watched is actually occurring before your eyes instead of on a flat screen. Traditionally, 3D glasses are made up of two lenses, one blue and the other red. Because your eyes are slightly set apart, they see things from different angles; the glasses help you see two slightly different pictures from these different angles, thus resulting in 3D vision.

1
Using a ruler and the card stock, draw a rectangle (frame) that is about the width of your face. Draw a small inlet/triangle where the bridge of your nose will be.
-
2
Draw rectangles about 3/4 inch away from the edge of the frame edge on either side of the inlet for the nose. Use the scissors to cut out the frames and the rectangles on the inside of the frames.

3
Use the ruler to draw a long rectangle that is approximately the distance from your temple to the back of your ear at the edge of the paper. Draw a small hook at one end of the rectangle. This will be the part that goes over your ear.
-
4
Fold the paper in half the long way and cut out the shape that you have just made leaving an extra 1/2 inch on the square side. By folding it in half before cutting, you will have cut out two identical pieces.
-
5
Fold the last two shapes about 1/2 inch in on the square end. Tape these two shapes to the frames that you created in step 2. You now have "glasses" frames made of card stock.
-
6
Holding the frames over one color of cellophane, lightly trace the size of the opening onto the cellophane. Cut out the shape about 1/2 inch from the spot you have traced on the cellophane. Repeat for the remaining color.
-
7
Using the tape, adhere the cellophane to the openings in the frames to complete the 3D glasses.

Tips & Warnings
Use colored plastic wrap for the lenses if you don't have any cellophane.
