Sunglasses on a Canvas: DIY

The sun has FINALLY decided to show itself, so it's time to dust off those jelly shoes, swap those coats for cardigans and, most importantly, dig out your sunglasses from the deep, dark depths of your drawers. I wish my sunglasses were in a convenient and easy-to-locate location, you think, as your arm gets stuck attempting to grasp that cheeky pair that's only gone and fallen right down the back. So if, like us, you have way too many sunglasses to know what to do with, along with the tendency to 'misplace' them, follow this strawberry-approved DIY that's both practical and pretty!

You Will Need:
Canvas print
Scissors
Pencil
Your sunglasses! (duh!)
Optional: Cushion

The first task involves turning the canvas over. We know guys, we know, what a difficult first step! We hope you're keeping up!

Next, place your sunnies in the desired position and feel free to be as creatively crazy as you want. We went for the classic 'Oh, look! All my sunglasses are in a line' look.

After this you're going to need to take your pencil and draw a small line by the start of each arm to mark the position.

Grab a comfy cushion (preferably one covered in strawberries!) and place this under your canvas. 

13

Carefully open the scissors and pierce a hole through each of your markings. (Side Note: No running with scissors!)

Once this has been done through all of the markings, turn the canvas back over and repeat so that all the holes are the suitable size.

You can now start placing your sunglasses through the holes!
