What to Do:

Crafting tools including glitter paper, scissors, glue gun, glitter tubes, ruler, cutting knife, and glasses.

Step 3: To stick the numbers to your glasses, cut or tear off a portion of the adhesive backing. Make sure you spread the numbers out to meet the width of your glasses. For added funk, mix up the height of the numbers or stick them on slightly askew.
