How do u make a homemade compass?

Answer 1

Take sewing needle - not a pin - and drag it across the magnet in your hifi speaker a couple of times, in one direction.

Then hang it up by a thread tied around the middle. When it settles down it will point to magnetic north.

When you face the rising sun, north is on your left.

Answer 2

Filling a huge vat of water, then letting a needle float in it will do it. You may want to use a real compass to find out where north is...
