How to Build Your Own Kaleidoscope

Are you in dire need of some visual eye candy? Dazzle your eyes by building your own kaleidoscope with a sheet of foldable plastic, common household items and whatever small and sparkly things you can get your hands on.

Many variations exist when it comes to building a kaleidoscope, some more difficult than others. In lieu of plastic sheets you can also use rectangular mirrors, and if you want a kaleidoscope tube that is a little sturdier than a paper towel tube, you can use a PVC pipe.
