Now you have what looks like two pieces of a pie! You are only going to need one piece for your kaleidoscope.

Step 7

You are now going to position your piece of vellum on your photo and trace a basic outline using a pencil. If you turn the vellum over onto the mirror image you should be able to line it up.
