I started this project a while ago and posted the results on Instagram. Never got to the point to blog about it, though, until now. It is a rather simple project and you do not need so much for it - scissor, fabric, glue, some kind of plastic, cardboard and some patience.

| The outline drawn on paper and then glued on cardboard. |

| Did the same with the other details on the glasses. |

| Measure the doll from the side too, from the nose to the ears, so that you get the right size for the frames. |
I began searching for some outlines for glasses and found Luna Lovegood's glasses. She is a character from Harry Potter and has some fun looking glasses. Wanted to make a pair to my still unnamed Littlefee. I measured her face from ear to ear and started to make a outline. This outline and glued to a thin piece of cardboard, from a box similar to cereal boxes. Used some tiny scissors for the detailed parts.

| The glasses, fabric and some plastic pieces in red and blue color. |
 |
| Glued on the back, ready to get cut to the right size. |
After this I picked one of my pink fabrics, that is like a sticker on the other side. It was easy to just place the cardboard on the fabric and then cut the rest out. I used old saved pieces from a curtain for a door opening and cut two circles for the glasses. Glued these on the back of the glasses and made some adjustments when the glue was dry.

It was a fun project. It did try my patience, because it was so tiny. I learned some - the next time I will use plastic instead of cardboard and make the glasses a bit bigger. And maybe choose a simpler shape. It took all in all about a football game to make these glasses. The rest of the family watched a game on TV and I am more into hockey, so I made these instead.
Enjoy the new week ahead.
Your funny glasses are a nice project. Thank you for sharing and for explaining how to make it.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! It was nice to make some glasses. :)
DeleteI love this project! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, it was fun!
DeleteHi Niina!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to occupy yourself while the football is on. I think it's a much better way to spend some time (I'm not a fan of football) and they look so cute.
Big hugs,

Hello! Thanks! I usually listen to audio books when I make something to my dolls or enjoy other smaller projects. The sounds from the game and the rest of the family's talking and cheering was a nice company. :)
DeleteBig hugs!
Hello Linda! Thank you! It was a nice an simple project as the first one in the 'new' year. Hope to get some more time to other projects during this year. It would be fun. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Niina! This is such a fun project and I think it turned out really cute. I made a pair of glasses for my Monster High dolls years ago, and I would agree that the simpler the shape, the easier it is. The holes for the glass are quite challenging, specially if it's for a small doll (not sure how big this doll is though).
ReplyDeleteSorry it took me so long to comment. I took some days off and now that I'm back I'm playing catch up with everyone's blogs.
Hello there! No worries, took time for me to reply too. :)
DeleteThank you! It was a fun project and this little doll is just about 25 cm tall. I think that is something about 10 inches. She is my smallest BJD. Monster High dolls are very tiny especially when making props for them. I can just imagine the challenge in making glasses.
I need to do some catching up too. Have been busy with our trip to the cottage (are here at the moment) and my studies. Enjoy the weekend ahead. :)
