This step shouldn't be tricky.

If you are lucky enough to find a real lens that fit, you can jump to next step without even read the next line.

Take your plastic sheet (or whatever you choose as source for your lens) and place it on your monocle. Trace the contour of the hole leaving 5 mm all around. Cut and try it. If it's too big, refine slightly the edge and try again, until you find the perfect fit. You know you have find it when the lens is only 1 mm from the edge of the hole.

If your plastic become covered with fingerprints, just wash it gently with water and hand soap.

Put it apart, avoiding to scratch or otherwise mark it.
