3-D Glasses

If you can't find any 3-D glasses to buy locally and want them RIGHT NOW, you can make your own. 

Materials:
card stock
thin plastic 
red and blue permanent markers
scotch tape
glue stick

Tools:
scissors
large hole punch

Cut out a nose notch in the middle of the short end of a piece of index paper. Punch out the 2 eye holes. Fold over the paper above the eyes.
Cut off the rest of the paper and cut out the second nose notch. Line up the eyes and punch out the matching holes. 
Cut two pieces of plastic a bit larger than the eye holes. This plastic is from a package holding greeting cards.
Color them with the markers. You may have to do several layers for a smooth coat. Tape the plastic pieces over the holes (inside the glasses). Smear glue on the inside side without the pieces of plastic. Fold over and press to adhere the two sides. 

Tips:
Use blue and red cellophane instead of plastic.
If you use cellophane, you may have to use 2 layers of each for strong enough color.
