I decided to make mine with foam sheets from Jo-Ann's, it's cheap and easy to use (although the glitter sheets are a little pricey in my opinion at 2$ apiece...). I then Googled the images I wanted, printed them out, and started!
I taped my glasses stencil onto the (upside down) foam and used my XACTO knife to trace the 'lenses' right out of there.
Make sure to use cardboard underneath so you don't cut into your table surface. Once I cut out the 'lenses', I took my scissors to cut around the glasses shape because they work easier with curves.
There are so many options, I decided to have a little fun with my props.
The fancy mustaches are my favorite. I want to wear them around all day.
To be able to carry them around, I used meat sticks. You know. For cooking. You can find these at the craft store without pointy ends, made for projects such as this, but I had a bag in my pantry from a fondue party a while back, so whatevs!

I put a generous amount of hot glue over the pointy end of the stick and held it there until it began to dry. Yes, these would be a little dangerous if the props come apart. So hopefully my guests are smarter than that!
And this is what my table looks like after every project.
