about

so i'm kali, and i'm eighteen years old & a freshman at a small private college in wisconsin. the 'hollywood' thing is kind of a long story, but no, i've never lived there =) i had a column on this site sometime last year & answered 2000-ish questions, but then i never really had time to get on here anymore, so i figured i'd just start over. i'm always honest, & sometimes a little bit too blunt, but at least you'll know i'm not lying to you. i don't judge people at ALL, & hopefully you'll feel like you can ask me anything =)

How does one make a kaliedoscope?

taken from: http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/cr_kid_crafts/article/0,1789,HGTV_3256_1383105,00.html

Materials:

tube - paper towel core, copper tubing or a plastic tube
mirror cut to the length of your tube
polyurethane to fit over one end of your tube (with a hole cut in the end for an eye hole)
1 to 2 pieces of construction paper
findings for the end of your kaleidoscope (paperclips, feathers, beads, gift wrap, ribbons)
clear container to put findings in and attach to one end of your tube
decorations (fabric, ribbons, construction paper, etc.) for the outside of your kaleidoscope

Steps:

Cut the mirror so that it can be folded and slid into the tube. The more cuts in the mirror and/or the more mirrors used, the more intricate the finished results will be when peering into the kaleidoscope.
Wrap the construction paper around the mirror and slide into the tube.
Put the desired findings into the clear container and attach it to one end of the tube.
Attach the polyurethane eyepiece to the other end of the tube.
Decorate the outside of scope in any way desired.
Note: Look for more detailed instructions in kaleidoscope instruction books available from bookstores and libraries
