Handy Solar Flashlight (in altoids mini tin)

This is a quick and cheap project I did to use up some things I had laying around and make something very useful for myself. When you finish this intstructable you will have learned how to make  a pretty handy little solar light to have when the lights go out or for camping! I will be making one for my girlfriend in a few days so I will update with better pics then.

Step 1 Get it together man!!!

OK these are the things you will need. I want to first off encourage you to use things you have laying around. I don't follow other peoples instructables exactly and I don't expect you to do it with mine. You can probably come up with something a whole lot cooler. Ok here we go.......

Tools,
1. dremel or something like it. (tin snips may work)
2. soldering stuff
3. electrical tape (i would have used hot glue for a lot of it but i dont have a gun :0(
4. metal file would be nice

Materials,
1. solar light from dollar general, cost me $2.50
2. led flash light with a try me button in the package $2 at the general as well
3. altoids mini tin $1
4. AAA rechargeable battery
