You can assemble a simple telescope by using two lenses, one weak convex lens (this is thicker at the centre) as the objective and a stronger concave lens ( thinner at the centre) as the eyepiece. then, with simple manipulation you can determine the focal length of your lenses, double this calculation for length of tubing required to mount lenses and assemble a gallilean style telescope.

An online visual guide can help you understand what is involved in building a telescope.
