Make-Do Mondays with Ann

When I dropped off my kids at youth group, I spotted a high school student who worked with me during VBS. When I waved and called out hello, I saw that she was sporting some make-do glasses.

“Hey, you’ve got a safety pin on your glasses!” I exclaimed, thinking immediately of Make-Do Mondays.

They broke on a recent missions trip, she explained, and someone stuck the safety pin in them for a temporary repair.

The trip was a few weeks ago, and she’s still wearing them.

I love that.

So I’m sharing her Make-Do Mondays solution, celebrating a teen’s ingenuity, confidence, and contentment.

2 Responses to Make-Do Mondays: Simple Glasses Fix

  1. Sharinskishe says:

    Awesome fix! Makes perfect sense. I can see it now, a smaller version made specifically for glasses. You buy your lenses and they put it in frames and you also get to choose your ear pieces. But you get to choose say 5 sets. Now you have interchangeable glasses- you could choose earpieces for day, night, parties, church, ……………….. could be fun!

    Thanks for noticing her make-do. Thanks to her for letting you share it!
