How to Make a Compass
Author Info
The magnetic compass is an ancient navigational tool used to indicate the four cardinal directions: north, south, east and west. It's composed of a magnetized needle that aligns itself with the earth's magnetic field to point north. If you find yourself lost without a compass, you can easily make your own using a piece of magnetized metal and a bowl of water.
Part One of Three:
Gathering SuppliesEdit

1
Decide what to use for your compass needle. A compass needle can be made from any piece of metal that can be magnetized. A sewing needle is a straightforward, practical choice, especially since it's an item you'd normally find in a first aid or survival kit that you might have on hand on a backpacking trip. You could also try these other "needles":A paperclipA razor bladeA safety pinA hairpin

2
Choose a needle "magnetizer." You can magnetize your needle using a variety of methods: tapping it with a piece of steel or iron, rubbing it with a magnet, or rubbing it on another item that magnetizes it with static electricity.A refrigerator magnet works well for this purpose. You can also buy plain magnets from craft stores.You can use a steel or iron nail, horseshoe, crowbar, or other household item if you don't have a magnet.Silk and fur can also be used to magnetize a needle.When all else fails, you can use your own hair.

3
Gather additional materials. In addition to a needle and a magnetizer, you'll need a bowl or jar, some water, and a coin-sized cross section of cork.
