Upcycled Eye Glass Christmas Ornaments

"This is a very simple craft to make a wonderful unique upcycled and repurposed Christmas ornament for your tree. I used some old eyeglasses and beaded necklaces for this ornament. Each eyeglass ornament is different as a different vintage image is stuck to the lens of the eyeglass. You could also make these with photos instead. These ornaments look great hanging from the Christmas trees especially when the lights from the tree shine through the glasses lens"
