Can you make your own telescope lens?

I have been getting really into telescopes lately. The lens on the one I use now is starting to get old and murky, it's getting difficult to see my neighbor through the window. I was wondering if it was possible to make your own lens? I love being creative and I'm a little short on money now. Let me know!

Sure. Go to the beach and get some sand. Melt that down and when it’s a block, sand it down until it looks like a lens. Then coat it so it will not give you flare.
That should do it.
If you would stop getting into your telescopes they would not become so murky. By the way, your neighbor has a lot bigger telescope than you do.
