- Now keep the box for 30-60 minutes and then take the magnifying glass and cut away the holding bar of the magnifying glass. Now, take the only round glass part of the magnifying glass.
- Now put that part on the outer part of the small rectangular side, put the Box Cutter in the compass, make the round, and cut the part out to the same size as the inner glass of magnifying glass.
- Now take that round glass part inside the cut part, fix it with the Glue Gun, and let it dry.
