I’m a photo taking fantic. You probably know I take my camera almost everywhere to preserve every precious moment of my kids life. I wish the technology had been so advanced when I was a child. Quite recently, I’ve noticed my son’s great interest in photography. We haven’t bought him a camera yet but he uses his phone to document whatever he likes in the nature. One day he came to us and asked how he can take a macro photo of insects. As an ideal parent ;) I had to satisfy his need and found a solution.

Vanessa of Cafe Craftea came up with an absolute genius idea for DIY Magnetic Phone Macro Lens. Using a cheap laser a few other supplies she created such a good lens that it can almost turn your phone into a microscope. This ingeniously simple idea will let my son take close-up photos whenever he wants. If you also want to increase the magnification on your phones, you should try this lense out.
