How to: make duct tape glasses

I was challenged to make a duct tape glasses frame today, so I did. Here's the instructions on how to do it.

There are different ways in which you can make glasses out of duct tape. I will teach you two of these.

Making them purely out of duct tape(the harder way):
STEP ONE: Make a sheet of duct tape fabric about the legnth of your face, and as wide as you would like the frame to be.

STEP TWO: Once you have the duct tape fabric, sketch the shape you'd like the frame to be. You can trace a pair of sunglasses, or just make an original pair.

STEP THREE: Cut out the shape. It will be easier to cut them out with scissors once you get a small hole to start off with. It is slightly hard to cut duct tape fabric with an exacto knife.

STEP FOUR: Cut out the holes in the middle, so you can see.

STEP FIVE: The frame you currently have will be very thin and flimsy, so when you attempt to wear it, it will wrap around your face (like a Robin mask). You're going to need to wrap more duct tape around the frame to make it thick enough to stay straight.

STEP SIX: Make the ear pieces by either using the remaining duct tape fabric, or making more. Sketch and cut it out. You'll need to thicken these as well.

STEP SEVEN: Tape the ear pieces to the frame.

Glasses out of Cardboard(the easier way):
STEP ONE: Take some thick cardboard and sketch the frame and ear pieces out of it.

STEP TWO: Cut the frame and pieces out (including the frame's eye holes).

STEP THREE: Wrap duct tape around the frame and ear pieces.

STEP FOUR: Tape the ear pieces to thee frame.
