Hello Mini Friends! Are you ready for the cutest, tiniest pair of binoculars? I pictured in my head adding a stool with a bird watching book and a pair of binoculars for the loft patio. These were so easy to make and you most likely have everything you need right now!
The supplies that I used are cardstock, two jump rings, two beads and two rhinestones.
I used a hole punch to get twelve circles and glued them together six in a stack, making two stacks. Then I glued the jump rings to the top of each stack. Next, the trapezoid shape is probably an inch and a half long and I used a paint brush handle to round them out, then rolled them up as slanted as I could and glued the end down.
I glued the rolled up pieces to the circle stack and placed a tiny amount of glue between them and pressed them together.
I used a thin strip of card stock and glued it to the top of the cylinders then trimmed off the access leaving enough to glue the strap to.
I glued the two beads or eye pieces on top of the strip.
I used the rhinestones between the eye pieces as the focus dials, one on top and one underneath.
I curled the thinnest piece of cardstock to use as the strap. Then I painted the whole set black. The strap I painted brown. Then I gave it a clear coat of gloss Mod Podge.
I also used a bit of dimensional magic to make the ends look like glass.
I didn't take pictures while making the first set, then decided to make a tutorial for you. I like the first set better than the second. But both are precious.
Aren't they just the cutest??
Thanks for stopping by!
XOXO ~Laurie
