Steps

	1.	Print out any of these eye glasses templates on printable card stock.
	2.	Color the eye glasses frame. Remember to leave out the rim's side flaps uncolored. If you printed out the template in colored card stock, you may skip the coloring step altogether, and proceed to Step 3.
	3.	Cut all three template pieces. Cut out the eyeholes on the rim as well.
	4.	Crease the rim's side flaps by folding them inwards.
	5.	Unfold the flaps and glue one temple piece (the part that goes behind the ears) onto a side flap.
	6.	You can decorate your eye glasses further with glitter glue, stickers, small punched-out shapes, puffy paint, rhinestones, or other decorative materials. If you used glitter glue or puffy paint, you need to wait for it to dry on your eyeglasses before proceeding with the next step.
	7.	Cut cellophane paper to make the lenses. Make sure to measure against the eyeholes of your frame.
	8.	At the back of your eyeglasses, apply glue around the eyeholes and stick on the cellophane paper.
	9.	Let the glue dry before wearing your fun pair of glasses.
