Here is a quick DIY lesson on how to create insanely close-up pictures with your mobile phone. And its basically FREE! Im sure lot of you remember this lazer when you were a small kid. It costs 2.50€ around here (Europe, Estonia) and i'll bet it's pretty cheap all over the world. Chances are that you already have this little lazer lying around somewhere in your house and thats what I meant when I said FREE.

Now you need to screw off that grey plastic protection. It's pretty securely and tightly fit so you probably need to use clips.

To prevent it from moving, I put that macro lens between hair clamp and used Macgyver's tape to secure it from moving. PS!!! The lens has to be with convex side facing away from camera and flat surface has to face the camera. PPS!!! If you are trying to get picture and are having trouble focusing, then here are few tips for you. The camera has to be really close, closer than 1 cm(0.4 inch). I suggest you to move your camera very, (VERY!) slowly toward the object you are trying to take picture of.
