Found this on Youtube and decided to give it a try-

 

I don't know how to attach photos yet, but let me tell you this thing works! and for the cost of a laser pointer it's definitely worth it. For anyone trying to take pictures of queens to id, using this lens could really help you out since you can get a pretty magnified look at her. The only negative thing about making this, for me was that the laser pointer I used didn't have a screw off the top and so, I had to cut the lens out manually. (You can probably imagine how much of a pain it was to get out) but in the end it was worth it.
