Hi my name is Elliott Kwong on behalf of Expert Village. Today I'm going to teach you how to make a kaleidoscope. So I have my 3 pieces of mirror and I cut it right and what I did is I put pieces of tape. Using any kind of tape; scotch tape, masking tape, duct tape, anything that holds it together. I put one piece at the front and I wrapped it all the way. Put one piece in the middle, wrap it all the way and then put one piece at the end and wrap it around. This is so it is pretty stable. Make sure that the reflective part is inside all three. The non reflective parts on the outside. Now that I have this mirror part of my kaleidoscope what I want to do is put in my pvc pipe.
