Ahoy, mateys! This captain’s spyglass is ready to scan the horizon for buried treasure. Each square on the grid stands for one fuse bead — start at the top, where the tube is narrowest, and work your way down bead by bead to the flared eyepiece at the bottom. The golden rings mark the joints where the sections slide together, just like a real collapsible spyglass. Once every bead is placed, iron gently with baking paper between the iron and the pegboard, then let it cool completely before peeling it off the board — that’s the trick for a nice, flat piece. Hang it from a loop of thread and it makes a fun magnet or a hanging decoration for a little pirate’s bedroom, dreaming of adventures on the high seas.

Treasure Chest
A wooden chest banded in iron, with a golden padlock and coins spilling out, made on a colourful square pegboard.
