See Colors With a DIY Kaleidoscope

Customize your kaleidoscope with paper and sparkles and start seeing beautiful colors and patterns!
Materials
Directions
Decorate the paper however you desire with your crayons or markers. You can stick your decorated paper onto construction paper to make it a bit sturdier.
Stick some tinfoil onto the card stock, shiny side facing out.
Make three folds (so that you have four sections) in your foil-covered cards. Put glue along one side and fold the cards into "triangular tubes." Glue them shut and wait for them to dry.
While the glue dries, cut little circles out of plastic bags. Put a strip of glue on one circle and drop glitter and/or sequins into the center. Then drop the other plastic circle on top and let the whole thing dry. Now you have little pockets filled with glitter and sequins!
Roll your decorated paper around your "triangular tube" and glue it down.
Cut out black circles from the card stock and make a hole through the center with a pencil. Fold the circle over one end of the tube and tape it on.
Finally, tape a glitter and sequin "pocket" onto the other end of the tube.
