DIY Kaleidoscope

Kaleidoscope's create really interesting displays of color and shapes. While playing with some leftover metal bars, I discovered that they create perfect kaleidoscopes. After about an hour of work, I made a perfect kaleidoscope attachment for any camera, SLR point and shoot, or even disposable.
