On the plastic tubing attach a piece of foam,and then start coiling the magnet wire.Remember to coil in only one direction,after coiling a length of 3-4 cm bring the wire back to he start and continue coiling. Do not coil backwards.Coil to a depth of 1 cm. Depending on your choice make 2-3 coils.Attach foam on both sides of the magnet.Place the magnet in the coil tube and seal the tube so that the magnet does not come out.
