Making your own 3D glasses is so easy to do that you can
whip them up just before a movie, right at that moment
you've discovered the ones that came with your 3D DVD are
missing! Here are two methods for producing effective 3D
glasses at home.
!! Steps !!
!! Converting A Pair Of Sunglasses[1] !!
Find a cheap pair of plastic sunglasses. Dollar store or thrift
store ones are perfectly fine, or you can find them in the kid's
toys section. Pop out the plastic lenses.
Use the plastic lenses as a template to draw the correct shape onto
the transparency sheet, cellophane, or acetate.
Cut out the lenses on the inside edge of the line you have traced on
the plastic.
Color with the red and blue markers. If you didn't use red or blue
colored plastic sheeting, you'll need to color each lens. Make one
lens red, the other blue.
Place the colored lenses back into the frames. Red goes on the LEFT,
and blue goes on the RIGHT.
Check that they fit well. Make any adjustments needed. Then start
watching your 3D movie.
!! Paper Version !!
Download and print off a copy of the PDF. This can be downloaded from
http://stereo.gsfc.nasa.gov/img/glasses.pdf, or enlarge the image
provided here. Cut out each piece (including the eyeholes). Stick the
sides to the center to form a pair of glasses. This forms a stencil.
* Tape the stencil flat to the sturdy poster board, or trace around
it. Cut out the glasses. Cut the eyeholes as well.
Cut out lenses from the sheets of blue and red acetate. If you can
only find clear acetate, color with a red and blue marker (one red,
one blue lens).
* Make sure to cut the acetate pieces a little larger than the
opening for the eyes.
Tape the lenses over the eyeholes. Red goes on the LEFT, and blue
goes on the RIGHT.
* *Do not* get tape on parts of the acetate visible through the
eyehole.
Fit the glasses. Make any necessary adjustments, then enjoy your
3D movie.

!! Tips !!
* If wished, decorate the glasses using any materials on hand.
* The pattern provided is just one possible style. Vary the outer
shape of the glasses to make them fit better for your own needs,
or to make them more creative.
!! Warnings !!
* Do not wear your glasses constantly; 3D glasses can cause
headaches.
* Do not drive while wearing these glasses.
* If you use teal or green instead of *blue*, the colors might not
blend in and it might not work. Make sure it is pure blue.
!! Things You'll Need !!
* Plastic sunglasses (method one)
* Transparency sheet, cellophane, or acetate (methods one and two),
colored or clear; if clear, also get markers
* Sturdy poster board, such as oaktag (method 2)
* Scissors
* Clear tape
* Basic pattern for glasses (see template for method 2)
* Blue and red markers (suitable for plastic)
