glue the corners of the box to prevent it from wiggling. I'm using hot glue because i ran out of PVA glue.

Tracing and Cutting a Round Hole

use a ball pen or a pencil to trace the magnifying glass, now grab your compass and cutter to cut off a perfectly round hole. if you don't have a cutter you can use a hobby knife.

Remove
