Begin by covering the camera lens & corner of your phone with cling film.

Pull apart the lens or magnifying glass & isolate the glass.

Clean lens & set aside for later.

Now’s the fun part. It’s play doh for grown ups.
Sugru is amazing stuff – it air dries & cures in 24 hours. If you have another idea by all means go with it but I think this stuff is terrific. You can buy it online here…http://sugru.com

Using about ½ of one small packet of sugru role a couple of spaghetti strings. They say the stuff stains so I did this on baking paper.

Lay your lens onto your string of sugru & roll the lens along the string to enclose it.

Just use your scissors to cut off the excess. You should now have a lens enclosed in sugru.

Now position your magnifier over the camera lens.
Gently press the sugru to ensure a tight fit around the glass & optimum positioning.

Turn your phone over & attach another spaghetti strand as pictured.

Roll the remaining sugru into a ball, press flat & “fill in” the corner.
Double check your lens position & the fit of the lens corner onto the phone.

Once you are happy with the fit of the lens corner remove the cling film & the lens from your phone & leave to cure.

Time lapse…24 hours later…
Remove the cling film from the inside of your lens corner.

Clean lens to remove any oily residue from the sugru.
