Since digital camera are getting cheaper and cheaper and easier for people to obtain I wanted to make this quick tutorial of a product I saw on the internet. You can find the bottle cap pod for as cheap as $6.00, but you can easily make one yourself for $2.00 and under 5 mins.

supplies:
Drill
1/4in drill bit
1/4in washer
1/4in screw

Step 1.
     Take bottle cap and drill a 1/4in hole in the center.

Step 2.
     Take 1/4in screw and place 1/4in washer over screw.

Step 3.
     Place screw and washer into bottle cap from the bottom upwards

Step 4.
