I Spy & Magnify

A monocle magnifying glass works great for many types of close up work.
However, this design requires that you hold it place like this.
As a result, mine tends to pop out at inconvenient times. Also, look at those wrinkles! I have enough wrinkles without making more. They sell head band type magnifying glasses like this.
I had a project where this design would have worked well, but I had an immediate need, so I combined my monocle with a pair of old low power reading glasses. First I put some glue on aluminum foil.
Then I dipped it.
And attached it.
The result looks like this.
Works great.
