I made these quick and easy glasses for my Lady GaGa Halloween costume. They use 2 digital picture frame keychains on a slideshow setting to replicate the effect seen in her performances.
Note:
- You cannot see through the glasses, so I don’t recommend walking around with them on.
- In this prototype/version the individual keychains are not synced. I just practiced pressing the "ON" buttons simultaneously.
Steps
Step #1: Prep glasses and digital picture frames
Next
- Pop out the lenses on your glasses. This will make it easier to attach your digital picture frames.
- I had to crack the lenses with a hammer in order to remove them because they did not pop out easily. If you need to crack the lenses please be careful and wear gloves and safety glasses.
- Use pliers to remove the keychain clasps from your digital picture frames. There is probably a metal ring that you can unbend where it attaches to the plastic.
Conclusion
And that's it. Try them out and impress your friends! These were a big hit at a Halloween party and I've heard of a few people using the technique to make other interesting costumes.
