Step 2Make magnet tube:
This part could really be made from anything (i.e. stiff paper), I used the pen because the magnets just fit inside the tube.
Cut your tube a little smaller than the length of the Tic-Tac box. Find some washers or plugs to use as end caps, these could also be made out of paper. Mine were plastic gears with the teeth sanded off.
Stick all 4 magnets together and put them in the tube. Glue on your endcaps being careful not to get any glue on the magnets.
