Extreme Macro Photography on a budget

This is such a cool article - it’s been written by a friend of mine. He builds a super-photo-macro lens out of a pringles can! How cool is that!
…So, you like the idea of doing macro photography, but you think you can’t afford it? Think again - with less than £1 worth of equipment, a little bit of sweat and tears (and blood, if you, like me, are a bit on the clumsy side), and you can build yourself a surprisingly good macro lens. Don’t believe me? Well, have a look at the article, and think again!…

This seems like a fun project. It is amazing how magnified the images are from this. I am thinking about making one of these for my self. I have a pringles can and a 50mm lens. I just hate to cut up my body cover. Anyone know of a better way to attach it to a camera?
