DIY macro lens using a laser pointer

Hey everyone! Yesterday I stumbled upon a site (techverse.net) that shows you how to make a macro lens for your phone using a laser pointer! I was so excited to try this. You need:

Tape, a laser pointer, and a bobby pin. 

 

Screw or pull off (depending on the laser pointer)the end part that projects the laser. 

This is what was inside mine. The silver piece is what contains the lens, which is the last piece on the right. 

Open up a bobby pin and place it inside. But be careful! The lens may pop out and go flying haha! 

Place the bobby pin on your phone so that the lens is in front of you phones camera lens and tape it down! That's it, super easy and works really well! 

Here's a couple pics I took using my iphone 5 and homemade macro lens :)
