Having rimless eyeglasses are great for viewing through, but I have to find where I set them first -they are virtually invisible. All the eyeglass holders/chains I’ve found to buy have rubber loops that are made for thicker arms. Mine are extremely thin and the bands fall right off. So this morning I dug through my jewelry box and found a neckace I bought at Kohl’s years ago on clearance and that I never wear. A little disassembly work and I made a basic chain out of it.

My daughter had a bag of extra ortho bands for use with braces, so I figure if they can stand up to a kid’s mouth they will probably hold my glasses.
I threaded the bands through some wire crimp beads, crimped and attached to the chain with jump rings.
Now I know where my glasses are..around my neck.

fabulous. and I can see why you bought the necklace in the first place, very nice
That’s pretty cool, much prettier than the standard holders. Btw Cathe, I linked you to my blog and gave you an award
Love this!
I made my way here from Design mom, and I will be staying for a while! I love your posts!
Thanks so much!! What a great blog… I've been absorbing inspiration for half an hour now!
I just started a new job and I keep putting my glasses down where I can’t find them! I am SO making one of these! So pretty!
What a great idea and it also looks so much nicer than the ones you can buy at the store too. I want to make some for myself. Thank you for sharing this idea.
You have sooo many great DIY projects here on your blog. Just found you and I’m having a blast browsing…
