There are quite a number of 3D movies coming out lately, but 3D glasses are hard to come by (especially if the DVD does not come with it). But aside from watching 3D movies, 3D glasses

What you need:
Some fairly sturdy/thick paper
Pen to draw the glasses on the paper, or you may choose to download the template from the NASA site and print onto the paper (like I did).
Pair of scissors
Coloured cellophane: red, green, and blue (available from your local craft shop)
Glue

Procedure:
Draw your glasses on the paper and cut these out. I am making 4 pairs of glasses for us and a guest (thoughtful of me! hahaha)
If you are using the template from NASA, don't forget to include extra bit of paper at the ends of the temples (the part which connects to the frame) so you have a bit to put glue on (see below). I also decided to create two frames per pair of glasses to make it sturdy.
The colors needed are actually red and cyan. Cyan is difficult to find as is because coloured cellophane usually comes in blue and green only. But cyan is a combination of the two, so what I did was to cut blue and green film and overlap them to create cyan. And since I am using two layers of film for the right eye, I also used two layers of red for the left eye.
So I glued on the film, followed by the hinges, and then the second frame. Ta-daa! Ready to use. For some 3D photo fun, simply google for anaglyphic images! Beware though that prolonged use can cause eye strain so be sure to take a break every now and then.
