How can you make your own binoculars?

A handmade gift is much more appreciated, especially if it is made by a child. To please dad or grandfather with his birthday or Defender of the Fatherland Day, you can make a craft in the form of binoculars with your baby. So that the result does not disappoint and the work process takes a minimum of time and effort, it is important to know how best to approach the task, what to have with you and in what sequence to work.

Binoculars are a device that allows you to clearly see any objects located at a great distance. Most men at different ages have experienced the use of this device and are familiar with it.

The most popular craft that both boys and girls love to do is binoculars. Its appearance may differ due to the use of different materials. The simplest and fastest will be to create a mock-up of this device from bottles. The size of the craft can be different, so you can use plastic jars for baby food, juices, water up to 0.5 liters, etc. The binoculars can be open on both sides or closed, the appearance is chosen individually.

If you did not find small bottles at hand, you can use products from under water 0.5 l, 1 l, plastic products made from juice, milk, kefir and more will do. To make beautiful and realistic binoculars, you need to prepare:

• two plastic containers of the same size;
• scissors;
• paints;
• Scotch;
• decor.

The device of the binoculars looks in such a way that on one side the holes have a small diameter, and on the other - more overall. Using plastic bottles, you can achieve maximum realism without cutting the neck of the product. The process of making such a craft will look like this:

• choose a base for binoculars (2 identical bottles);
• cut off the bottom, making the product through;
• paint the blanks in the desired color;
• after the paint has dried, connect the parts with adhesive tape (you can use a jumper between the parts, if you have a suitable material);
• decorate the finished product;
• make holes for attaching a cord or rope.

Within an hour, you can make a creative and pleasant gift for any occasion, having a pleasant and useful time with your child.

On February 23, traditionally, children make postcards and crafts for their dads and grandfathers, therefore, it is important to teach kids to work with different materials and make a variety of products. To make binoculars, you can use the most popular material - paper. Working with cardboard, paper and any similar options for children is understandable and familiar, so they will gladly get down to business.

To make binoculars from a tube, you must have:

• paper tube from under film or foil or 2 tubes from toilet paper;
• paints or colored paper;
• scissors or clerical knife;
• glue or tape;
• decor.

The process of creating crafts from cardboard tubes will look like this:

• measure the desired length of the future product;
• cut off the desired element with scissors or a clerical knife, forming two identical parts of the future craft;
• paint the workpieces or paste over them with colored paper;
• after drying, connect the parts with tape or glue them together;
• decorate binoculars;
• punch holes and stretch the braid or cord.

A more complex option for creating binoculars involves creating crafts using a jumper between two tubes. It can be made from cork or cardboard of a smaller diameter. So that the jumper does not differ from the design of the entire product, it is also pasted over or painted. All parts are connected together using tape or glue.

In the absence of such tubes, binoculars can be made from ordinary cardboard. The creation process will differ slightly from the previous version, but it will take time to make homemade tubes. The work progress looks like this:

• pick up thick cardboard of the desired color;
• draw rectangles of the required dimensions on it in order to end up with parts of the desired diameter;
• cut blanks;
• glue their edges together, forming a tube and fix the junction with clothespins;
• when the parts are ready, they are glued together with glue;
• so that the binoculars are as strong as possible and the parts do not come off, you need to make an edging of colored paper and paste over both parts with it, connecting them into a single product;
• as soon as everything is ready, you can decorate the craft with stickers, figures from colored paper, or draw something with paints, pens or felt-tip pens;
• so that you can conveniently use the craft, you need to attach a cord or rope to it for wearing around your neck.

Such an easy and interesting craft can be made at home by presenting it to relatives or bringing it to kindergarten, delighting employees, guests or boys in a group.

To make binoculars with your own hands, you need to find the most successful project, select tools and materials for it, and develop a work plan. When creating a craft with a child, it is very important to choose the option that will be feasible and understandable for the baby, otherwise he will quickly lose interest and the adult will finish the job.

To make marine binoculars, you can use not only bottles and cardboard blanks, but also other materials at hand. The craft from the cups looks very interesting and believable. Both plastic and paper products are suitable for work. To make binoculars, you need:

• prepare two large or medium cups and two medium or small, depending on the desired size of the finished product;
• have paint or colored paper for paper cups;
• scissors;
• glue or tape.

The process looks like this:

• cut off the bottom of large parts, shorten small ones in half;
• connect large and small parts, creating a semblance of real binoculars, with a transition of diameter from smaller to larger;
• paint or paste over parts;
• connect with each other;
• decorate.

Cups can be connected with glue or tape, simply by attaching one part to the other, or using an additional part that is placed between two blanks. A more difficult option is to create a base into which the parts of the craft are placed.

Another option for creating binoculars is to use soda cans or similar options.... This option is more complicated and requires the direct participation of an adult, who must cut off the top and bottom of the jar, forming a tube. So that the child can safely use such a craft, it is very important to paste over the edges with tape, preferably in several layers. You can decorate such binoculars with colored paper, securing it with tape or using decorative tape. To make the safest version of this craft, you do not need to cut the edges of the can, leaving them closed.

Children with adults can create a huge number of a wide variety of crafts, the main thing is to approach work wisely, take a feasible project, prepare all the necessary materials and work in close collaboration.
