Step 7The Lenses
First, take a moment to plug in your hot glue gun to let it heat up.
Take some clear plastic, such as from a fruit container (I used strawberry and blueberry containers), and place a Gatorade upside down on the plastic. Trace the outside edge with a sharpie, then cut out about 1/4 inch inside this line. You want the lens to be larger than the opening in the eyepieces, but smaller than the inside of the gatorade lid, so err on the side of too large and trim it down to fit.
Once the tabs in the eyepieces have finished drying, place the lens inside the eyepiece, make sure the edges all overlap, then apply hot glue all around the edge to secure it. While you're at it, also reinforce the tabs with hot glue. Make sure the hot glue doesn't go past the edge of the eyepiece, or you'll see it through the lens!
