To make these 'crazy eyes' glasses, you will need pipe cleaners. Pick the color of your glases and then get several pieces of this color to make the entire pair of glasses. Firstly, form a circle with the first pipe cleaner, as seen in (picture #1). Then twist the ends together, as seen in (picture #2). Do this again for the second lense. Next, as seen in (picture #3) bend a 3rd pipe cleaner in half and then twist together. This will be the center of the glasses....just twist the center of your glasses around the 2 lenses as seen in (picture #4). Just twist the arms on to both sides of the glasses. Next cut out 2 cardboard eyes and draw 2 more circles...one color it a color such as blue, green, brown, or make it crazy red with spirals. The center should be black and then cut a tiny circle out so that you can see. And then just glue to the back of the glasses. There you are...silly 'Crazy Eyes' Glasses.
