Components:
Crystals; garnet chips; re-cycled seed and silver beads; metal donutAdditional Images:

Julie Shane says:This is SO SO practical. I’m always wearing my glasses on my head and stretching out the frames.
I bet you could get some BIG washers and patina paint them for something fun and funky.

puppychick labratbecky says:Arrrggggg I commented from work and I don’t see it here. darn firewall!!! This is such a cool idea!! I think everyone is right–market them at Susie’s farmers’ market where there are more retirees who might have more need for this sort of thing to hold their cheaters. I know my hubby could use this!
