Finding Materials to Make a Kaleidoscope

Hi my name is Elliott Kwong on behalf of Expert Village. Today I'm going to teach you how to make a kaleidoscope. Where did I get these materials for the kaleidoscope? Let me tell you. You can go to your local hardware store to get your pvc pipe and the cap. Go to your local hardware store and I'm pretty sure they have these kind of things like a pvc and a cap. Also, an installation foam. Now as far as a peachy dish, these are little bit harder to find. What I did actually I went to my local school and I asked if they had any peachy dishes, extra peachy dishes. Remember the peachy dish would be entirely the same side onto your 1.5 diameter pvc pipe. So if you find that peachy dish either at school or online, you can order peachy dishes. They are pretty inexpensive. As far as the mirror, this mirror you could buy, you would probably need to go to some kind of mirror or glass shop to get your mirror. You can not find it at a hardware store usually; at least if you want to customize your mirrors. I went to the hardware store and I had a really hard time finding a mirror. Now if you have like a metal, a reflective metal like stainless steel, that could be good to. But you are going to have to cut that down to size. So those are and the beads that I have here, these beads are just any of your regular beads. You can find them at an art store or you might have them at home. Just anything that makes a pretty pattern.
