Instructions:
Step 1: Find what you need
Gather your supplies and materials.
Step 2: Create the glasses
Print our free glitter party glasses template (find the link in the materials list above!) and cut out the shape of your choice.
Trace the template onto the back of a piece of glitter foam.
Cut the template shape from the foam using a craft knife.
Remove the excess foam from the outside and center of the glasses.
Step 3: Add the handle
Add hot glue to one end of a paper straw.
Place the glued end of the straw against the side of the glasses. Hold it until it stays on its own.
Your glitter party glasses are complete!
Helpful Tips:
- If you don’t have a craft knife to cut the glitter foam, you can also use scissors. We find the craft knife provides a cleaner cut than scissors, but both will work for this craft.
- Glitter foam makes these glasses sturdy enough to use as photo booth props. If you don’t have glitter foam or regular craft foam, you can make these party glasses out of thick paper like cardstock, scrapbook paper, or cardboard.

How can I use these New Year’s Eve party glasses if I don’t have paper straws?
No straws? No problem! Punch holes on the sides of the glasses and tie a ribbon, string, or elastic cord through the holes!
Now your glitter glasses can be worn around your head like a mask. You can also use your glitter mask for a superhero themed party or costume!
Is there a way to use these crazy glasses frames if I already wear glasses?
Definitely! You can forgo the straw and attach the prop glasses to your everyday glasses using a gentle, removable adhesive. Try using sticky dots, sticky tack, or small pieces of masking tape.
Can I wear these party glasses like real eyeglasses?
Yes, you can attach the foam glasses to sunglasses from the dollar store! Simply pop out the lenses and use hot glue or tacky glue to stick your glitter template to the front of the frame.
These glitter party glasses are sure to be the life of the party! Use them as the cutest DIY photo booth props, set them on top of cupcakes for an extra pop of personality, or use them as fun drink markers.
However you choose to enjoy them, these glitter glasses are sure to make your celebration sparkle!
