Cheap easy shades for kids glasses
I had a crazy moment of inspiration sitting in the optometrist waiting room the other day. I had been thinking about how to make toddler size clip on sunglasses for a few days. A young boy walked out with the cheep shades they give you when they dilate your eyes and I had an idea. Originally it was to add those little hair elastics to the sides and slip the sides of the frames into them. I thought I would need to cut the shade down to the size of the glasses. The wonderful optician gave me a few to play with. When I got home I realized the paper earpieces just slid out and there was the perfect slot for the sides of the frames. It might be hard to get some frames in them but for Samantha's it was perfect. The size of the sades she gave us are a really good size for her too. The one problem left, they wouldn't stay in place, so I took a bobby pin and slid it over the nose pieces in the middle. The bobby pin was a little long so I cut it and put a dab of hot glue on the ends to cover the points. I put the bumpy side on the inside to accommodate the bar from the glasses. She leaves them on better than the sunglasses we bought with the strap.
