Summer has arrived bringing with it blisteringly hot sun! In addition to spf 50 sunscreen the little munchkin is also sporting a selection of cool shades – which she removes & dramatically tosses to the ground when she tires of wearing them – such a diva! Here’s a quick solution for sunny-tossing-darlings of any age:
You can make the 5 minute DIY sunglasses strap with stuff you already have around the house so let’s get started:
Grab your sunnies & some ribbon, a length of fabric, a shoe lace, a piece of stretched out t-shirt – whatever you have on hand – I used one of those annoying side-ties that are attached to empire-waist dresses.
Measure & cut the approximate length you’d like your sunny strap to be (45cms was perfect for the munchkin).
Loop your fabric once around the arm of your sunnies & slide it off.
Hand stitch the loop & repeat on the other end of the fabric.
Pop your new strap on your sunglasses & head out.
So adorable and those sunglasses will (hopefully) stay put!
