1. Add Glitter
Don't pink and gold look great together? This DIY sunglasses project will work with just about any color, though. Gold complements just about any color out there so your old sunglasses should work for this DIY idea. Aside from the sunnies, you will need glitter, painter's tape, and decoupage glue for this project.

2. Glue Pearls and Rhinestones
This is a simple sunglasses makeover that will work only with a black pair. Round lens is also imperative in order to achieve the same chic style. This craft project requires pearl beads, rhinestone flowers, and strong glue. E600 should be perfect.

3. Add Blue Stripes
These madeover summer sunnies are pretty! These are inspired by a pair by Dolce & Gabbana. But we don't buy pricey designer items when a DIY version can be accomplished with only a fraction of the cost. For this project, a white-rimmed pair of sunglasses is ideal. You will also need painter's tape and nail polish in blue.

4. Paint Gold Patterns
Here is another DIY sunnies project that makes use of the color gold. This time, gold leaf pen is used instead of glitter. This is a fun idea for those who like to draw patterns. Something Aztec or maybe Scandi-inspired will work. For an easier time, choose a pair of sunglasses with a wide rim.

5. Glue a Bunch of Flowers
This isn't your typical floral DIY sunnies because you will be using medium-sized fake flowers and they will be glued along the whole upper rim, not to the corners alone. The effect is quite dainty and perfectly summer-y. You will need fake flower heads and hot glue for this project.

6. Glue Flowers to the Corners
If the previous floral sunnies showcase a bunch of flowers, this particular DIY pair have only two. They are glued to the upper corner rims and are flanked by pretty pearl beads. This craft project should be perfect with a white-rimmed pair of sunglasses.
7. Go Bright with Neon
Only a few things scream summer more than neon. If you're leaning towards this idea for your DIY sunglasses, you will need only a few things. These are painter's tape, neon nail polish, x-acto knife, and clear spray paint. The latter is for protecting your nail polish layer.

8. Do a Donut Design
If the goal is to have one sweet and unforgettable summer, giving your sunglasses this donut makeover is imperative. Just like a couple of the DIYs we have featured here, this project calls for nail polish in several colors and a round-rimmed pair of sunglasses. You can also use clear spray paint to protect your design.
