Instructions

Step 1. Cut strips of tissue paper to fit around the temples.

Step 2. Mix glue with a little bit of water so that it has a thinner consistency.

Step 3. Adhere the strips with watered-down glue on a sponge brush, smoothing out bubbles as you go. Stack the strips so they create the desired striping pattern.

Step 4. Trim the excess paper, leaving enough to fold onto the backside of the temples.

Step 5. Wrap around the remaining tissue paper and adhere.

Step 6. Once dry, coat the temples with a layer of clear nail polish.
