Eclipse glasses that actually work and allow you to look directly at the sun

At first we tried winning some, but had no luck. We then tried buying some. All sold out. Down in the slumps and out of luck, I turned to the DIY side of the net. I spent 5 hours of my life and about 100.00 of materials. Nothing worked. I was on the verge of giving up, when it hit me! Make your own!
I collected all sorts of shit around the house and put on the old thinking cap. This is what i came up with.
Supplies:
Beer bottle Sidewalk
Take your beer bottle outside and slam it down on the sidewalk. A wall works as well, if you don't have a sidewalk.
Dig through the glass until you find a half dollar size piece.
That's it! You can now look directly at the sun with your new eclipse glasses.
--------------------
Learning to love life by living through loss and mistakes
Lessons learned then gradually surfacing, Letting go, stripping naked to scream
I am not perfect nor do I strive to be, I am alive in this world of face first falls and public breakdowns
I'm a retarded, disfigured clown
Dying to be heard through the simple art of letting this heavy wall finally fall
I'm an equal being of no race, or color, a hallucination if you will
Sneaking into the lives of strangers, and letting them fall apart to a new rhythm just to feel better

You know, $100 would buy you a nice auto-darkening welding mask, then you could look at the sun *whenever you wanted to* without holding a broken shard of glass.
You would also be immune to flash photography.
