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
