Big eye Contact Lens

- An old case of big eye contact lenses

slits you need to make in your old case of contact lenses to have those
headphones’ handles rest fully.

start cutting the marked portions on big eye contact lens case using the heated
exacto knife. Do it carefully, taking care of not to wound your fingers. Go
slowly and go in a rhythm to keep the balance maintained.
Things to Remember:
1. Use simple big eye contact lens cases and avoid the fancy
animal cases.
2. The plastic of big eye contact lens cases is brittle and
prone splitting so avoid exerting too much of the pressure.
3. The slots in each compartment should be big enough to
accommodate the handles of the headphones entirely. If the slots are not
properly cut; the caps will not screw on properly on the case of big eye contact lens.
