DIY Pirate's Spyglass

Assalamu Alaikum!

 When you think of pirates, certain things always come to mind: buried treasure, desert islands and swordfights. There are many useful things a pirate might have on his person such as a pocket knife, compass, treasure map, spyglass and even a talking parrot!

Today we will be showing you how to make a spyglass. It's a relatively easy craft so let's begin!

You will need:-

2 toilet roll tubes

1/2 kitchen roll tube(cut one in half)

paints

scissors

needle and thread

glue

stickers and markers(to decorate)

First you will need to paint all the tubes in whatever colours you like.

Next take one of the toilet roll tubes and cut along the curved line. Then cut out this spiral-like shape. It's hard to explain but hopefully the photo will show you the shape you should end up with.

Now you will need to sew one end of the spiral to the inside of the kitchen roll tube. It should be sewn roughly in the centre.

Then you can glue the other end of the spiral to the outside of the toilet roll tube.

Now decorate with whatever you like. You could even stick on gems and jewels to make it fancier.

And you're done!

Now you can enjoy playing pirates with your very own DIY spyglasses! See how Zainab and Sumayyah turned these bean bags into a couple of barren islands? With a little imagination anything can happen. Can you smell the salty sea air and hear those seagulls shrieking?

We hope you liked the craft and will see you again next week, insha'Allah.

Wassalam,
