Scissors, Some kind of blade or a knife, red duct tape and a ruler.

Layout

Stick a 30 cm long piece of duct tape on a smooth surface so it is is easier to remove it later. DO NOT PUT IT ON PAPER LIKE I DID.

Cutting

Wrap the thin piece of duct tabe around the lens where the silver one was. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO REMOVE THE SILVER ONE. Leave the overlap on the bottom of the lens it will be less visible.
