Decorate Eclipse Glasses

Solar eclipse viewing glasses in all designs, shapes and colors will be available at many locations for the eclipse on August 21, 2017. One way to enhance your eclipse viewing experience is to decorate your own eclipse viewing glasses. Your unique decorations will help you remember your most memorable moments. Make them colorful and unique by using paints, crayons, markers, glitter, colored pencils or a combination. The options are endless! Take and share pictures of your glasses with us in this Flickr group or on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter by using #MyEclipseGlasses. Don’t forget to include a brief description with your uploaded image.

SAFETY TIP: Never modify, scratch or draw on the solar filter portion of the glasses. Always inspect your solar filter before use; if scratched or damaged, discard it. For additional safety tips and information, visit How to View the 2017 Solar Eclipse Safely.
