Print out one of these four cool, crazy paper glasses templates and have fun decorating them any way you like.

One night last week my smallest child was doing his best to avoid going to bed.

“I’m not going to bed… unless you wear the gwasses!”

“Ok” I said putting on the green lantern glasses, “now it’s bed time!”

Off he went to bed, but every time I even looked liked I was going to take of the glasses his eyes shot open.

“Leave. Them. On!” he demanded. By this stage I would have stood on my head if it helped him get to sleep, so I left the snazzy green glasses on and took a quick instagram selfie to record the moment for posterity. And as I my kiddo fell asleep I came up with an ideas to make more funny eye glasses!

Here’s another great free printable craft activity to try.

How to Make some Cardboard Glasses

Start by printing the crazy glasses templates.

You can either print straight onto some strong card, or print them on to regular paper and paste the pages onto some old cereal boxes or similar cardboard for support.

I use a regular inkjet printer and matte photo paper to print the glasses template.

Next choose which style of glasses you are going to make, and cut them out, along with a set of arms. Measure how long the arms of the glasses need to be to comfortably fit your head and snip them off at the desired length. Fold the little tabs on the side of the glasses and tape the arms onto them.

You could use markers, pencils, washi tape, stickers, paint, paint sticks, glitter glue, feathers, collage materials and more to make your glasses look extra fabulous!

We used markers, some fluro washi tape and diamante stickers to decorate our crazy glasses!

      1. Not yet… my kids rushed off to put on a ‘show’ as soon as they were done and required all sets of glasses for their costuming, but I have plans to steal a pair for another random instagram selfie! LOL

    1. I love these Kate…thanks so much for the printable!! Those pics are so funny by the way!

      1. I know.. I love those photos! Apparently that’s what you get when you ask my kids to make a crazy face!

    2. OK, you’ve done it again — made me use more of my expensive printer ink, LOL! Seriously, your blog is great and I look forward to seeing it in my e-mail. I believe I already posted a comment that I would be printing out items to put in Christmas shoeboxes (a project of Samaritans Purse) and these will definitely make for a great do-it-yourself, inexpensive fun project for me to include. Thanks so much for the wonderful free printables and the fantastic instructions.

      Oh, and your kids are great models!

    3. Loved the template for the glasses! I do a self-portrait lesson with my first graders using glasses cut with our Accu-cut machine. This will be so much better since the students can choose different shapes! Thanks so much!

    4. grazie mille di questa bella condivisione, domani con i nostri ragazzi in Italia faremmo una bella attività. bye bye maestra astrid

    5. Thank you so much! These cute printable glasses made getting ready for story and craft time at the library a cinch! We are reading Pete stories. I will end with the Magic Sunglasses and we will make our own stunning glasses to top things off!

    8. Thank you so much, I am using these in my 2nd grade classroom to help kiddos to monitor and clarify what they read!!
