How to Make Steampunk Goggles
Take apart a pair of welding goggles. Cheap welding goggles can be found online or at most home improvement stores. If possible, select a pair that at least has removable lenses http://www.helpfightpancreaticcancer.org/facts_risk.html, detachable straps, and a top that can be unscrewed. If the lenses pop out completely, this step is not necessary. If the lenses are still held together by plastic, however, the plastic will need to be painted along with the outer rim or base. Start by applying a silver or nickel metallic finish to the base section or body of the goggles lululemon warehouse sale 2013. Use a dull finish, rather than a shiny one http://www.alexshand.com, to create an old-style look. Apply the finish with a cotton swab or cheap paintbrush. The lens piece or lens pieces should be a different color than the body lululemon. Consider using a dull copper finish ergo baby carrier sale, applying it to the pieces with a clean paintbrush or cotton swab. If there are other pieces, such as buttons that go on the side of the body chan luu scarf sale, paint these a different color, as well lululemon canada. You can either use the same dull copper finish used for the lens piece or you can use a dull gold finish. Paint over any piece that you painted copper or bronze with a copper patina paint. The paint should look brown or greenish-brown. If there are ridges or raised portions of the area being painted, apply the patina paint to the crevices in between the raised portions; otherwise, apply it around the entire area. Do not paint a solid layer of patina over the finish. If you painted any pieces with gold finish, make those pieces look aged by making the gold look worn. Even though gold does not corrode, many pieces are made with gold leaf to save on cost, and gold leaf eventually wears off over time. Once all the paint has dried, put the goggles back together.

Use super glue or a hot glue gun. If desired, you can further embellish your steampunk goggles by attaching a clip on lens or detachable loupe set to the front of your goggles tom s shoes.
