How to Make a Kaleidoscope Lens

Ben Gonyo here for Expert Village. We are putting together a kaleidoscope. Right now we are going to make the end lenses cap part of the kaleidoscope, which holds the colored beads and makes the pattern. Now a lot of directions they call for a Petri dish or a couple Petri dishes for this, which also work, but they are not always easiest to find and they don't often match the size tube you have to so you have to make adjustments there. This is another little trick that I got for you that is going to save you money and hassle about looking for parts. What you are going to do is you are going to cut off the last inch of your tube. So we will do that very quickly. Wow that was fast. Now we have got our end tube-a-ring and the rest of our tube and what we are going to use this for is our lenses by putting our transparencies on each side of it and creating our end cap. I will show you how to do that next.
