He do it by first removing the iPhone back casing. Then you need to get a spoil or not in use anymore CD player so that you can use the lenses inside for your iPhone. This is to magnify the iPhone lens aperture so as to minimize the vignette that is cause by the dslr lens. After that he wrapped a thin layer of putty around the edges of the stacked lenses to stick thin strips of paper around the edges of the lenses. This is done so that they can be assembled together and handled as a single unit
