Kaleidoscope




I was so bored today that I decided to make a Kaleidoscope.

Got in all the required materials:
- 3 equal sized mirror pieces to form an equilateral triangle
- incandescent stick inner cardboard cover
- few broken bangles
- one small translucent oil paper
- fevistick


1. I started with gluing all the 3 glass pieces (shiny surface inside) so that they form an equilateral  triangle.
2. Put the glued glass structure inside the incandescent stick inner cardboard cover so that the glass structure is secure.
3. Stuck the translucent oil paper on one mouth of the glass structure. Put in the bangle pieces, and close the other side of the structure with a transparent sheet.
4. Kaleidoscope is ready. A typical image which I caught on camera is attached
