Opti-Grab 3D glasses
Does anyone else remember Steve Martin's "Opti-Grab" invention from that old movie The Jerk?
No? Well, it's a pretty dubious accessory. In theory it provides a handle for easily removing your glasses, as well as stopping them sliding down your nose. In practice it caused everyone that uses it to go cross-eyed.
Here's how you can make your own:
- Dye some Plastimake black.
- Form a small rod of Plastimake, then bend it into a semi circle. This will become the main handle.
- Lay down a small piece of cling wrap, then place a short rod of warm Plastimake on top. You can then drape the cling wrap over the bridge of your nose so that it bends to the correct shape.
- Join the handle to the nose pad.
- Finally, attach the Opti-Grab to your pair of glasses. We used a pair of plastic 3D glasses, hot Plastimake stuck directly to them.
