FRESH! Haha! I mean PHRESH! lakas maka-bowtie, sunglasses ang peg! achievin natin to!
O eto ang akin! (O, here's mine!) PAK!
SUNGLASSES FROM PEPE JEANS! MATCHY MATCHY! HAHA!

Ok! So how did I make that! DIY MODE ON!
Materials:
Sunglasses: anything you want I chose kids sunglasses so it has the same size as a bowtie
Glue gun
Thread and needle
Garter
Screwdriver (there are small ones for glasses that can be bought in optical stores I guess)
5 minutes and patience

The materials...




Use the screwdriver to unscrew the screw connecting the frame and the temple. The glue gun should be plugged in right now so that the glue will be very liquid when we stick things into it ;)

The result.

Do the same thing for the other temple

The aftermath.
Now with the garter...



My gosh, what long neck! He should be a model! Choz! Hahaha!
 Anyways, measure the garter with your neck allowing some 1 or 2 cm allowance. Trust me! Unless you like being choked, allow some allowance gels!

Cut.


Sew. BTW, make sure to heat up the ends of the garter so that it will not loose the thread. You know put it in the fire of a candle for a few seconds.

The result!

Ok. Now position the garter in the middle of the glasses. I suggest you put the sewn part on the middle of the glasses so that when you wear them, it won't stretch and get ruined.

Apply the glue first then the garter. Ok, whatta mess and what a dirty glue gun! Haha!
There we go.

Allow about 3-5 minutes for it to dry.

The aftermath of the DIY.

FINISHED PRODUCT!

WORN! with Aldo leopard print bowtie necklace!
