How to make a kaleidoscope!

Hey guys!!!
I know long time since my last post.....but this time I'll show you how to make your very own kaleidoscope...i thought it was really hard but its really easy!!!!


Material Required:

  1. 3 mirrors of the same size
  2. beads/broken glass pieces
  3. transparent sheet
  4. butter paper
  5. cardboard/foil roll
  6. tape
  7. scissors

STEP 1: Join all the three mirrors together with tape in the shape of a triangle (at 60 degree angles). Where all the mirrors face inwards.
STEP 2: Cover both the ends with transparent paper.
STEP 3: Put the beads or colored pieces of glass on one side (on top of the sheet)
STEP 4: Cover the side you put the beads on with butter paper. (leave some space so that the beads are able to move)

STEP 5: Since the glass is fragile cover it with cardboard (from outside). Make designs on the cardboard to make your kaleidoscope look stylish.


Voila! You are done. Now look into your kaleidoscope to see beautiful patterns. keep on rotating the kaleidoscope, the patterns will keep changing...
