In 7 simple steps you will have your kaleidoscope: o Form the mirrors into a triangle (shiny side in) and slide them into the tube. If the fit is too tight, sand the outside edges until they just wedge in and don’t move. Make sure you clean them first, because if you can’t get them back out, you’ll never be able to clean them. o Using the clear glue, glue the 1 1/4″ disk onto one end of the tube. Use very little glue. o Glue the cabochon to the other end, using the same glue. Again, just use a dab so that it does not get in the viewing area. Let the glue dry and then enjoy the view through this cool toy. o You can use adhesive backed sparkle film to wrap your kaleidoscope. o Glue the large remaining disk to one end of the 2″ piece of tube. o Here is where you can create some spectacular images. Put a small quantity of something colorful into the short tube. You can use glitter, beads, sea shells, toenail clippings, or whatever. I used small shiny beads here. o Take the 2″ piece of tube and slip it about 1/4″ over the cabochon end of the kaleidoscope. This is why the sparkle paper was 1/4″ shorter than the tube. The fit between the two tubes was so tight, the bigger tube would only slip over the bare smaller tube. Don’t glue the tubes together. That way you can separate them and experiment with different materials.
