Is there anything you can’t do with duct tape? Here’s how to fashion an emergency pair of sunglasses.

You Will Need

  • Duct tape
  • Scissors or a knife
  • Some kind of string
  • A shoelace (optional)

Step 1: Tear duct tape

Tear off a foot-long piece of duct tape.

Step 2: Fold over

Fold it in half lengthwise, so the sticky side is now completely covered.

Step 3: Slit

Make two eye slits in the tape with scissors or a knife.

Step 4: Punch holes

Punch holes in both ends and loop a piece of string through them so you can tie the “glasses” around the back of your head.

If you don’t have any string, a shoelace will do. Or use more tape.

Step 5: Admire

Notice how little sun the slits allow to get in your eyes.

Sunglasses were invented in China in the 12th century.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but what is the point in that, making sunglasses to stop the light that don't stop the light, Slits are just going to let it in anyway, so i voted against you.
