Its Krrunch Time, Get Playful!

(please wait for the images to load if you're on a low bandwidth)








First up, the materials you'll need!



Step #01:
Cut the Pringles tube into 2 parts! One of it being about 1/5 of the length.


Step #02:
Cut the plastic mirror into 3 long parts that will fit nicely into the tube.


Step #03:
Slot the plastic mirror sheets into the tube and glue them down to secure them into place.


Step #04:
Cut the base off from the smaller half of the tube.


Step #05:
Stencil the circumference of the tube and cut 2 pieces out from the transparent sheet.


Step #06:
Glue one of the transparent sheets on to one end of the tube.


Step #07:
This smaller tube will be the image that will be reflected, so decorate it with the shiny/translucent stuff. You do not need to actually glue everything down; You simply place the stuff into it and glue the other side on. The shiny/translucent stuff will move about as you turn!


Step #08:
Cut out one wide strip from the foam sheet.


Step #09:
Wrap it firmly around the two parts of tube and glue it together. *Don't glue it on the tube though!*

This is the "handle" of the Krrunchleidoscope!

Step #10:
Cut out the circumference of the tube from the foam sheet and puncture a hold in the middle. This serves as the peephole!


Step #11:
Glue it down to the top end and TADAA~! It's a kaleidoscope!
OH!
NO!!!
IT'S A KRRUNCHLEIDOSCOPE!


Take a look inside!


And now to prove to you that it actually works...
