Step1: Adjustments and cutting the glasses

The first step is to adjust the size of the glasses if you actually want to wear them. If you are simply using them as decoration, you can leave the size as it is.

TIP 1: Measure the width of your sunglasses and then mark all parts and make them slightly larger, depending on what you have measured!

If you change the size significantly, you don't have to adjust anything on the layers, but you will have to adjust the tiny rectangles marked in red into which the side parts of the glasses are inserted.

TIP 2: You can of course also use the glasses without the side parts, in which case you could hang them on the wall as they are, for example. In this case, changing the size has no effect.

With the above parameters you can then cut 2mm Plywood!

Step2: Colouring the parts

This step gives your glasses a perfect high-contrast look! You could use spray paint or special wood colors (or maybe you already have an M1 Ultra and can print colors), but you can also make it relatively easy for yourself: Colored pencils!
Of course you are flexible in the colors, but for a nice sunset scene red, orange, yellow and for the silhouettes black are perfect colors. 
TIP: Color the parts before you glue them together! After that it will be a little more difficult to get everywhere.

This step will bring your scene to life! The individual parts are glued together with superglue. Make sure that they are always flush with each other at the edges! 
In the second picture, you can see the order in which the individual parts are glued on top of each other. If you have not adjusted the size of the glasses, the two side parts should fit perfectly into the small rectangular openings of layer number 1. 
And there you have your summery multilayer sunglasses!

There's a little reward for scrolling down this far!
A glasses holder for your multilayer sunglasses! Or for your other glasses too! In Sketchup Make, I've designed a little rhino for you with a long nose to hold your glasses.

TIP: If you are creative, you can of course turn the holder into any other animal! The face can easily be exchanged in XTool Creative Space!

The holder consists of 4 parts. The two .XCS files for this are attached. The two body parts are glued together and connected with the nose (a little superglue should also be used here), then the rhino is inserted into the base plate and fixed with a little glue for safety. The glasses holder is finished!

Have fun building and using it!
