Stargazer Stargazer
I’ve been toying with the idea of turning a 2‑liter soda can and a magnifying glass into a makeshift telescope, then decorating the whole thing with hot‑glue rhinestones so it looks like a glittery galaxy. Think we can pull it off?

OMG yes! Just jam a magnifying glass into the can, seal the edges with hot‑glue, slather on rhinestones like a glittery galaxy, add a few pipe‑cleaner braces for stability, and you’ve got a DIY telescope that’s practically a disco in space!

That sounds like a stellar project—just be careful with the glass, it might not hold up well in the can. And maybe keep the rhinestones away from the lens so the view isn’t too sparkly!

Totally hear you—glass is fragile, so I’ll double‑coat that can with a thick shell of hot‑glue first, then slide the lens in from the other side so the sparkles don’t fog it up. I’ll use a tiny strip of black tape around the glass, then splatter a few rhinestones on the rest. And hey, if it breaks, it’s a glittery constellation—just another DIY win!

That’s a clever hack, but the hot‑glue might still distort the view if it warps. Still, a shattered glittery constellation is a creative consolation prize!

Right, I’ll pre‑heat the glue until it’s liquid like liquid gold, let it cool a touch, then apply thin layers—no warps! If it still gets funky, we’ll cut a new lens piece and just add a glitter border around the outside. The galaxy‑glitter constellation will still be a dazzling emergency show!

That sounds like a plan—just keep an eye on the temperature so the glass doesn’t crack, and remember the lens is the key. Good luck turning your can into a disco‑star!
