Celebrate the Liberty with Paper Binoculars!

Happy July everyone! Wow… can it be July already?

I’m here with another easy kids craft for you and your kiddos!! A number of us will be celebrating with fireworks this month and, of course, the kids need binoculars to be able to see them better, right? Of course, this craft can be done year round… even for bird watching. My son loves these and carries them around all over the place… should we get started?

Supplies

Happy Little Forth – Quirky Twerp, The DigiChick
2 paper tubes
glue and tape adhesive
ribbon
stapler

1. Design a 9×4 banner in your digital software and print out on matte, double sided photo or presentation paper.

2. Run a strip of tape down the length of one of the paper tubes and press together with the second.

3. Have your trusty sidekick spread glue around the tubes… hey, Rupert, you should be focusing on supervising, not posing for the photo.

4. Wrap the decorated banner around the double paper tubes. Note, you may need to place a strip of adhesive on the end of the banner to attach both sides.

5. Measure about 1 yard of ribbon and tie knots at both ends.

6. Staple each end to both sides of the paper tubes.

7. If you are follower of my other projects, you know Rupert can not be left out of the craft… haha… so I made him his own pair of binoculars! Just took some scrap paper and wrapped around a pen to create a tube and glued together… then punched a hole on each side and tread thin ribbon around his head. Looking sharp, Rupert!
