How to make it
Cut away from your hand with the craft knife, and tweens under 12 should have a grown-up make the cut.
1Black out the inside
Line the inside of the box with black paper. Light bouncing around blurs the picture.
2Trace the lens
Trace the lens onto 1 short end of the box.
3Cut the hole
Cut it out with the craft knife, a little smaller than the trace.
4Mount the lens
Tape the magnifier over the hole from inside so no light leaks.
5Flip the screen
Lock screen rotation and turn the phone upside down. The lens flips the image back.
6Focus it
Turn the brightness all the way up. Slide the phone forward and back inside until the wall image is sharp.
Edie's tipUse it in a fully dark room on a white wall. It's dim, so the darker the better.
