Make your own gallery quality kaleidoscope!  This Kaleidoscope Kit consists of all the parts you need to make a beautiful piece of art. Each kit comes complete with 9" lacquered brass tube, three large strips of genuine front-surface mirrors (with protective film), a glass magnifying lens, solid brass end rings, colored glass gems and pieces (you can add your own if desired), and an acrylic chamber. 
 
Makes a fantastic gift and comes in a beautiful sliding-drawer style box (see pic).  No further decoration of the scope is necessary. Just assemble the parts, and voila! The brass tube is lacquered and looks great as is.   Directions included.  The only thing you need to supply is some tape and a few dabs of glue.
 
Note: Stand not included
