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.

Make Some Fabulous Free Printable Crazy Glasses!
You only need a few basic art supplies to make these fun glasses, and you can decorate them any way you like!
Supplies for making some paper glasses:
- The free printable glasses template that you can download below.
- Cardstock to print on, or paper to print the template on and cardboard to stick the paper onto.
- Scissors
- Tape
- Markers, paint, pencils, sticklers, washi tape etc for decorating.

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.

Now you have your crazy glasses ready to decorate!
You can use whatever art supplies you like to decorate your glasses template.
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!

Printable Paper Glasses Template.
There are four different crazy glasses templates to choose from, pick your favourite, or make them all!
This printable is an A4 sized pdf file, you will need a pdf reader such as adobe acrobat to open it. It will fit to print on US ‘letter sized’ paper, just be sure to select ‘fit’ or ‘shrink to fit’ from your printer options to allow for printer margins.

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!
