I had to edit the pattern from Molly Mine so that the lens material is sandwiched between the front and back halves of the frame. This enabled me to use a stiffer material for the lenses. Since I know my kids will want to use these as real sunglasses, I asked around the local eye doctors and found a supplier for post-mydriatic spectacles (temporary sunglasses given to patients after dialation of the pupils). The lenses are cut from that material, and are completely safe to use as actual sunglasses. Craft foam gives these glasses some shape and stiffness, and I tried to use a variety of colors and patterns for the fabric.
