I initially made these with glasses from the thrift store - which had a very slim selection and cost a buck a pair. Then it occurred to me that the dollar store sells reading glasses for the same price and I have a huge selection of lenses to chose from. While I'm not up-cycling, it did make sense practically speaking.
Here's the tutorial:

ReplyDeletedid you get a new camera, or fix yours??? I had a thought that if you have photo booth on your mac, you could see if you could hold your work up to your computer and snap photos of them until you get a camera again??? Just a thought.

ReplyDeleteI love your pins. They are so original. Not only could you use a stamp on paper and paint the image, but you could use comics etc. Love the idea of using the lens from glasses.
