How to make a macro lens for your (i)Phone…
So you know how I blathered on a couple of weeks ago about how much I was in love with Instagram? I wondered if something good would come of it…well it has!!!
Always looking to change things up I fashioned a macro lens for the phone! I got all excited over on instagram about it & now I’ve made a how to so you can do it too. Hooray for that I say…so I have saved the mind blowingly good content for the blog eh?
Anyway … I used more bits of broken lens from the camera lamp affair (lucky I don’t chuck stuff out). The corner was fashioned using a product called Sugru. I found this product via Swiss Miss last year & frankly anything with the slogan “hack things better” is a product I need to have. It’s brilliant brilliant stuff. So thank you Swiss Miss & thank you Sugru.
So off you go & make a macro lens corner for your phone – it was a quick & easy project. Maybe I’ll see you (& your macro shots) over on instagram @kootoyoo. xx

That is mind blowingly good! I’m obsessed with instagram too. I actuallly wrote a post yesterday where I said “I can’t believe we spent $2000 on a DSLR when my iPhone takes better pictures” Sad but true.

I still love my DSLR but I am really enjoying the freedom of using the phone. I have never been that keen on toting the DSLR out to cafes and on the everyday so I LOVE the phone (& instagram for that). I hope you make yourself a macro lens.

I love this! I love the concept and I love how clear and simple your explanations are. I totally believe I could do it. But mostly I love that you fund the need and you worked it out for yourself. Most would go and buy a gadget. You are too ace. x

Kate – thank you! I get such a kick out of this kind of thing. As it was made from stuff I already had at home it feels “free” so that’s a win too. Thanks for the thumbs up & for just being generally lovely. x

Fabulous! I was wishing my iphone would go macro, and now it can, if I make one of these. Thanks for sharing
