Dolly Parton Inspired Butterfly Glasses

Got inspired by this picture of Dolly Parton in butterfly glasses and decided to recreate them. The design itself is so simple but finding the right hinges and getting the hole placement correctly for the screws made the process a lot harder.

Thank you! I only had this one photo of her in them and have never seen a pair in person. I actually tried to see if I could find them online but there was nothing. So I tried to get the design as close as possible.

Those are absolutely adorable! Did you heat the plexi to give the butterfly some bend?

Yes with a heat gun! Took a few minutes because I was scared of it getting hot too fast and bubbling up.

These are awesome and the picture of Dolly is incredible. I only live 30 miles away from Dollywood.

If you ever get the chance to visit Dollywood—-I highly recommend visiting during the fall festival and during the week.
