Cut a piece of elastic string that will comfortably fit around your neck if glasses are attached.
Form a loop and tie a knot in one end of the elastic string to fit around the glasses (at the hinge) securely. Put a drop or two of glue to secure the knot.
String on beads in color order red, white, and blue, or any pattern or order desired.
Tie a knot in the other end of the string next to the end of the last bead you put on.
Form a loop next to the first knot you made that will fit around your glasses (in the same place on the opposite side) and tie a knot.
Do the same to the other end of the string.
Slip on to your sun glasses chain and enjoy!
