Pop Star Glasses
Inspired by Rachel Burke (imakestagram)
Artist Study
Rachel Burke is craft royalty here in Australia: her world is joy, tinsel, and unapologetic colour. She reminds us that art doesn’t need to whisper. It can sparkle and sing and shine (all at the same time!).
The Set Up
Set the table like a dressing room before a big show. Sunglasses in all different shapes and colours, trays of self-adhesive jewels, sequins, and foam ready to be cut and transformed.
Little desk mirrors help too because once kids see themselves mid-creation, their confidence skyrockets and the giggles start flowing.
The Making
Encourage the kids to design their own pop-star persona; glitter, gems, lightning bolts, the works. It’s wearable art meets performance art. The process itself feels like rehearsing for a concert, full of laughter and swagger.
Smudge Tip: For an extra layer of play, film a “press conference” or photo booth moment once they’re done. It turns the whole table into a stage.
Variations
Try headbands, crowns, or microphones instead of glasses.
Set up a mini “red carpet” with a roll of paper for their debut.
Materials
Sunglasses (bulk packs or thrifted finds)
Self-adhesive jewels, sequins, foam sheets, glitter
Scissors, glue, felt or paper scraps
Mirrors or a camera for photos
