Kaleidoscopes are classic children's toys used for creating multiple mirror images wrapped up a tube, regularly plentiful with shiny Ambition and glitter to beautify the mirror chain reaction. While commercially specious kaleidoscopes are available, production one Homewards is picnic and can be done using accepted household items. With a slender relieve from Mother and Father, kids can and build their own kaleidoscopes and impress their friends at academy.
Instructions
Glue a second transparent circle to one side of the lens piece of tube. Leave to dry.9. Fill the lens piece with the decoration items once the glue is dry.
These Testament be the mirrors of the kaleidoscope.
3. Arrange the three rectangles into a tubular triangle, with the reflective surfaces facing inwards. Secure them with the rubber bands in this shape, and analysis that they fit wittily inside the plastic piping. Tape the triangle securely with sticky tape once the fit is crowning.
4. Degree the tube against the length of the mirrors, and intersect the tube with the handsaw so that it is 1" longer than the length of the triangle of Disc mirrors.
5. Maxim off a as well ¾" lot of tubing from the sized tube to constitute the lens decrease that holds the decoration items.
6. Sand the ends of the tubing so that it is smooth and even, and that the pieces fit neatly together at the ends.
7. Place the lens section on the transparency sheet and trace it 3 times onto the transparency. Cut out these 3 circles with the scissors.
8. Glue one circle to the end of the larger kaleidoscope tube for the end.1. Allure a rectangle ¾" Broad along the longest object of the three CDs-this is directly below the Disc's centre gap.2. Score the border of the rectangles with the ruler and a sharp blade, then intersect the rectangles elsewhere with the scissors.
These can be shiny beads, glitter, confetti or any shiny, transparent item. Glue the remaining transparency circle onto the other end of the lens piece of tubing, sealing in all of the small decoration pieces. Let the glue dry.
10. Slide the CD mirror triangle into the longer piece of tubing, right to the end with the transparency glued onto it.
11. Glue the lens piece onto the open end of the kaleidoscope, sealing the mirrors inside. Leave it to dry before using.
