Now that we have the ring we can make the filter itself. According to Rey Nocum it needs to be shiny and the finer the wire the better. So i used generic metal screening. We had plastic, which would be safer for the lens, but it was dull and had thicker wire.

Trace the inside of the ring on the screen, then trim away the extra screen leaving some space around the traced circle (see images) so we can make flaps.

Once you have it trimmed cut notches into it so the screen doesn't wrinkle when it gets folded. Then, fold the flaps up (see final picture).

*Please note you will need two of these screen circles if you plan on making an 8 point star
