YOU WILL NEED

• Paper towel tube cut eight inches(20 centimeters) long
• Clear plastic report cover
• Ruler
• Pen or marker
• Paring knife or art utility knife
• Four-inch (ten-centimeter) squares (one each) of black construction paper, plastic wrap, and waxed paper
• Scissors
• Rubber band
• Clear tape
• Stickers and wrapping paper

HERE'S HOW

• Draw an 8 by 4 inch (20 by 10 centimeter) rectangle on the report cover. Cut it out. Draw three lines across the rectangle.
  
  
• Fold the plastic along the lines to form a triangle shape. The quarter inch strip goes on the outside. Tape the strip along the edge so it stays closed.
  
  
• Slide the plastic triangle into the paper towel roll.
  
  
• Turn the paper towel tube on one end. Trace a circle around it on the construction paper. Poke a hole through the center and tape it over one end of the tube.
  
  
• Place a square of plastic wrap on the other end of the tube. Press down to create a pouch in the end of the plastic triangle. Put some beads, sequins, and confetti in the pouch.
  
  
• Place a square of wax paper over the pouch. Stretch the rubber band over both the wax paper and the plastic wrap. Be sure it's on tight so nothing spills out.
  
  
• Hold the tube up to one eye and look through it. Turn it and watch you own light show.
