Hello everybody! In today's craft we are going to make some Binoculars with toilet paper rolls perfect for the most adventurous in the house. These binoculars can also be customized as you want in a very simple way.
Do you want to see how you can make these binoculars?
Materials that we will need to make our binoculars
- Two toilet paper roll cartons.
- Two thin strips of colored cardstock.
- Rope.
- Scissors.
- Glue.
- Paper punch.
- Marker or tempera to paint the cardboard.
Hands on craft
- We glue the two rolls of toilet paper cardboard and press well to prevent them from coming off. If you want you can paint the rolls or wrap them in some decorated paper that you like before gluing them. If we use tempera to paint them, we must let it dry well before gluing the rolls together and form the base of our binoculars.
- We make two holes cwith the paper punch.
- We tie the rope to the holes to get a strap so we can hang our binoculars around the neck. We cut the excess of the rope.
- We put two cardboard strips around the two ends of the binoculars. This, in addition to decorating and giving more the appearance of binoculars, will help the two rolls to stay securely.
- We paint with marker the two cartons of toilet paper roll. Actually, it is more comfortable if, as we said at the beginning, we paint the cards before gluing them. But if you do it later, nothing happens either, you just have to be a little more careful. You can add all the details that you can think of.
- Let the whole set of binoculars dry well.
And ready! we can go on adventures, discover new animals, become detectives, or whatever you want.
I hope you cheer up and do this craft.
