need:
shoe box
duct tape
x-acto knife or scissors
Magnifying glass (3-4 inches in diameter)
ruler
pencil
phone stand (anything to hold your phone up)
how to:
1. tape all wholes with the duct tape. You want to make sure no light comes in or out, except where the magnifying glass will be placed.
2. On the shorter side of the box, in the front and center, place the magnifying glass. Make a mark to see where to cut the hole.
3. Cut the space with the knife or scissors. An X-acto knife will give you the most accurate cut. Patch with tape.
4. Place lense into opening.Tape handle inside to hold lense in place.
5. Line up phone or iPod with the magnifying glass - mark the space so you know where to place the object next time.
6. Place phone stand on the marked place when ready to view movie!
note- you will have to turn your phone or iPod upside down to view film in the right direction, turn on the lock orientation :)
