DIY D&G Sunnies

A week or so ago I saw this picture of Dolce & Gabbana's A/W 12/13 collection sunglasses.

Taken from what do I wear.
 
And I fell in lust. Immediate lust. So I had to try my hand at making my own. Because I was feeling a bit silly today I decided to make a video in Photobooth and edit it some in iMovie.
The song playing is "Miami, 1981" by "Neutral Bling Hotel" which can be found here. And holy hell, this album is great. It mixes popular rap songs with NMH and it's pretty much my current favorite thing.

Supplies: E6000 or your favorite adhesive, roses, sunglasses and toothpicks.


Check out how cute these lil' things are! I got them from MottoMiquette on Etsy. I got the decoden supplies for my BC case from her too. And I can't rave enough about that shop. Such cute little decorative things and ridiculously fast shipping. I ordered them at 1:30PM last Saturday -- a holiday weekend -- and I got a shipping confirmation at 2:30. The package arrived Tuesday. Okay, so the shop is only in Jersey, which isn't far from me. But serious props for the shipping!


The finished product!











And a dumb and pouty looking picture of me in them! I didn't have a chance to take a good picture, I was off for a walk with my dad. But you get the idea, right?
Edit: Because I totally forgot to add the link in earlier and this post blew up (hi!) here's a link to MottoMiquette's Etsy. I have never had a bad etsy experience, but I seriously can't rave about this seller enough. I used Small and Tiny aluminum roses.

I also added a link to Pinterest for this, because there was interest! If you're interested in buying an already made pair of these sunglasses, check out my Etsy, here!

    1. Thanks!
      I added a "pin it" link (I think!) And I posted them on my own pinterest.

  2. I love this project and have been considering one similar to it; I was wondering what size cabochons you used since the proportions you used are perfect! And I LOVE the purple, they're so gorgeous!

    1. Thank you!
      From https://www.etsy.com/people/MottoMiquette I used the Small Lavender Aluminum Roses (8mm) and the Tiny Pinkish Purple Aluminum Roses (6mm.)
      I based my size cabochons (and the color!) off of the size (and tint!) of my frames, which I got from Forever 21.

  3. This is wonderful! I'll go look if I have a pair of shades that could use a little extra something;)
