Steampunk Goggles

Creating Your Goggles

Step 1

Trace an outline of the glasses on the foam sheets. Cut out the shape, as well as two circles for the eyes. 

Step 2

Lightly sand the plastic rims. 

Step 3

Apply a base coat of Rub 'n Buff Antique Gold to the goggles and the foam. Be sure to wear gloves!

Step 4

Allow the base coat of Rub 'n Buff Antique Gold to dry. Using a wire cutter, cut off the ends of the gold paper fasteners. 

Step 5

Apply a second coat of Rub 'n Buff Spanish Copper to the goggles and the foam.

Step 6

Cut the aluminum mesh into circles slightly larger than the openings on the foam.

Step 7

Remove the protective backing. Stick the aluminum mesh cutouts to the backside of the foam cutout. Hold the foam cutout firmly against the goggles until secure. 

Step 8

Glue paper fasteners to the front of the goggles.
