Materials You’ll Need:
- Cardboard
- Red and blue cellophane sheets
- Scissors
- Glue
- Ruler
- Pencil
Step 1: Measuring and Cutting the Cardboard
Start by measuring the dimensions of your glasses. Using a ruler, mark and cut two identical rectangular pieces from the cardboard to form the frame of your glasses. Make sure they are wide enough to comfortably fit on your face.
Step 2: Creating the Lens Inserts
Next, measure and cut two small rectangular pieces from the cardboard to serve as the lens inserts. These inserts should fit snugly within the frame of your glasses.
Step 3: Applying the Cellophane
Take one lens insert and cover it with a red cellophane sheet. Secure the cellophane to the cardboard using glue. Repeat this step for the other lens insert, this time using a blue cellophane sheet. Allow the glue to dry completely.
Step 4: Assembling the Glasses
Apply glue along the edges of one of the frame pieces. Carefully place the lens inserts inside the frame and press them firmly against the glue. Then, apply more glue along the edges of the frame and attach the remaining frame piece to create a sandwich-like structure. Allow the glue to dry completely.
Step 5: Testing Your Creation
Put on your newly created 3D glasses and test them out using a 3D image or movie. If everything was done correctly, the red lens should filter out blue components, and the blue lens should filter out red components. This creates the illusion of depth and brings the 3D content to life!
Final Thoughts
Creating your own 3D glasses can be a fun and rewarding DIY project. With just a few simple materials and some patience, you can experience the excitement of 3D viewing from the comfort of your own home. So grab your materials and get ready to embark on this creative journey!
