WANT TO MAKE YOUR OWN PERISCOPE?

1. Fold the poster board longways into 4 equal parts (ideally should be slightly bigger then the mirror)

2. Bring both ends together to make a square. Tape together. 

3. Cut a hole on one side (close to the end) a little smaller than the size of the mirror.

4. Insert the mirror facing the hole at a 45 degree angle and tape.

5. Cut a hole at the other end facing in the opposite direction. 

6. Insert the mirror in the second hole at 45 degrees and tape. 

7. Look into one hole and adjust as needed so you can see a clear image. 

8. If desired, you can glue the mirrors into place.
