No kidding, I feel like I haven&#8217;t been warm since October. It&#8217;s been a chilly winter, and our house has these old windows that you can feel the cold just seeping through. It&#8217;s been so wonderful to feel myself thaw out during our little trip over the last few days. Before we left, I decided I wanted to refresh a pair of sunglasses for our travels, to add a little color \u00a0to the trip! These floral painted sunnies are perfect for spring and summer, and for all of your travels and adventures.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/awaywego.carnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/LI_Post1_IMG3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3670\" src=\"http:\/\/awaywego.carnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/LI_Post1_IMG3.jpg\" alt=\"LI_Post1_IMG3\" width=\"456\" height=\"684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/LI_Post1_IMG3.jpg 456w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/LI_Post1_IMG3-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Materials<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>plain pair of plastic sunglasses<\/li>\n<li>acrylic paint<\/li>\n<li>small paintbrushes<\/li>\n<li>acrylic paint sealer (Outdoor ModPodge works well)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Make Time: 30 Minutes (Plus Drying Time)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/awaywego.carnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/LI_Post1_IMG2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3671\" src=\"http:\/\/awaywego.carnival.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/LI_Post1_IMG2.jpg\" alt=\"LI_Post1_IMG2\" width=\"456\" height=\"458\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/LI_Post1_IMG2.jpg 456w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/LI_Post1_IMG2-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.carnival.com\/awaywego\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/LI_Post1_IMG2-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Step 1: Clean your glasses to make sure they&#8217;re free of dust and debris. Dry them thoroughly.<\/p>\n<p>Step 2: Starting with green shades, paint a few free-form leaves scattered on both temples. Allow to dry, and add another layer in another shade of green for depth.<\/p>\n<p>Step 3: Choose a bright shade and paint some ruffly floral shapes scattered around and overlapping the leaves. Start with one shade, allow it to dry, then go over with another shade.<\/p>\n<p>Step 4: Using a thin brush and a contrasting but complementary color, paint some outlines to give the flowers definition.<\/p>\n<p>Step 5: If you wish, finish your flowers by painting a few stamens to add an extra pop of color.<\/p>\n<p>Step 6: Allow all paint to dry fully and seal with a layer of paint sealer. Allow this to dry and cure.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m loving these custom sunnies, and the fact that you can paint anything you like on them! They&#8217;ve been just the little bright pop I needed to start getting in the mood for spring and summer, and they&#8217;re just right to take along in your bag \u00a0if you&#8217;re heading on a trip.
