-Place one end of the elastic into one of the open flaps and fold the flap down over the elastic using a pair of pliers.

Step 5: Step 3: Add the Design
-Print off the picture of the shield found above. (the design should be 4.5 cm in diameter)
-Cut out the design.
-Hold the piece of paper up to some light and mark the corners. (as shown in picture)
-Connect each of the inside marks to the opposite outside mark. (as shown in picture)
-Cut along each line leaving a small amount of space in the middle so that it doesn't fall apart.
-Cover the outside of the aluminium shield in glue and place the paper design onto it making sure that the design is centered.
-Push down the edges and adjust the wedges so that the wedges are evenly spaced out with zero space in between.
-(Optional) Put a small ring of hot glue around the edge of the design to hold it down and make sure it does not come off.
