How to Make Binoculars at Home

Toilet paper roll binoculars - Supplies:

• 2 empty Toilet Paper Rolls
• Craft Foam (or Construction Paper)
• Pipe Cleaners
• Paint Pens or Markers
• Hole Punch
• String, Yarn, Etc. 
• Glue Stick
• Hot Glue 

How to make binoculars - Instructions:

STEP 1: Cut craft foam to size

Get your foam or construction paper and cut it to size, making sure it covers the toilet paper rolls entirely. 

STEP 2: Decorate craft foam

Let the kids pick their favourite decorations and start adding some pizzaz to these binoculars! We recommend using paint pens or markers and cutting out shapes from bright paper or foam.

We decided to cut out strips of white foam and decorate them with rainbow coloured dots made using markers. We later added a shamrock shape, again made from craft foam and decorated with markers. 

Glue any decorations in place. 

STEP 3: Glue toilet roll binoculars together

Heat up your hot glue gun and once it's ready, glue the craft foam to the toilet paper rolls and then glue both toilet rolls together. Make sure to press them against one another firmly until the glue sets and cools off a bit. 

STEP 3: Add lanyard

Then, you'll want to attach the lanyard. Cut the string or ribbon you've chosen to size so that it will fit around your child's neck. Using the hole puncher, make a hole in the outside top of both rolls. 

Then, tie each end of the string to the inside of the rolls.

And your toilet roll binoculars are complete!  You're now all set to go out for a fun treasure-hunt. Good luck and enjoy!

Don't have craft foam?! Not to worry, these toilet roll binoculars can be made using construction paper or alternatively you could paint the toilet rolls or decorate them with markers. There are so many fun options!
