DIY a Red-Blue 3D Glasses

Making your own 3D glasses is easy and only takes a few basic materials. These glasses work with red-blue 3D pictures and videos.

Cardboard

Clear plastic sheet

Red marker

Blue marker

Pencil

Scissors

Double-sided tape/Glue

Draw a simple glasses shape on the cardboard. Make two lens openings, a bridge in the middle, and two arms for the ears.

Carefully cut out the glasses frame and the two lens openings. Smooth any sharp or rough edges.

Place the cardboard frame on the clear plastic sheet and trace the two lens openings.

Cut out two pieces of plastic.

1. Color the left lens red.
2. Color the right lens blue.

Try to color them evenly and let the ink dry.

Put a small amount of glue around the edges of the plastic lenses.

Attach the red lens to the left side and the blue lens to the right side.

Press them gently into place and let the glue dry.

Once the glue is dry, gently bend the cardboard arms so the glasses fit comfortably around your ears.

Your DIY 3D glasses are ready!

Put the red lens over your left eye and the blue lens over your right eye.

Use the glasses with red-blue 3D images or videos. Regular 2D content will not create a 3D effect.

Be careful when using scissors.

Children should have adult supervision.

Do not use these glasses as sunglasses or eye protection.

Avoid rubbing the colored lenses because the marker may come off.
