You can not make your own 3D glasses as the ones you want to buy...
There are 2 major categories of 3D
simulation glasses:
1) The ones shown by Stigmata
here (and the only types you could make yourself, if you have the
absolute correct color filters!)
EDIT: since Stigmata deleted his post:

Kids! Make your own
These will only work with special made up pictures. You also can't see much color (if not none at all) with these as they actually work by filtering out de reds and the greens or the blues. The glasses are not universal; Each (own made) glasses are only useable for a specific set of colors, depending on exactly what colorfilter you've used.
2) Hardware 3D glasses which actually consist of 2 tiny displays.
These work by showing 2 slightly different pictures on each display (thus left and right). Viewing colors with these is possible.
3) see
Fluffy_Lobster's addition

All methods require very specialized drivers and very specially adapted software. 3D glasses simply will not work if the game/program does not support them!
To make your own 3D glasses type 1, you need the
exact color filters, any other even slithly different filter will cause the 3D effect to totally fail. For this kind of use, programs and pictures in magazines etc use a specific color to draw the pictures and many magazines, pictures, etc use different ones. So, the chance that the 3D glasses you got from a magazine, will not work with another picture from another magazine, is extremely high.
---------------------
Follow the advise posted before: do not waste money on such things, unless you swim in money and have absolutely no clue what to do with it. If useable at all, they (type 2) will only be usefull for 1 specific program/game....

EDIT @ Traxor: I fail to see the joke in a question like that in the way it was asked and being asked in TechTalk though...
