How To Make A Pinhole Camera?

Get a lightproof box or container with a lid

Paint the inside black

Cut a small square opening on one side

Cover the opening with thin aluminum foil

Make a tiny pinhole in the center of the foil

Tape wax paper or tracing paper inside the opposite side as the screen

Seal all edges with black tape to block light leaks

Point the pinhole side at a bright scene

Remove the cover from the pinhole

View the image on the screen inside the camera

Adjust the distance between the pinhole and screen if needed

Keep the camera steady while taking the picture

Cover the pinhole again to stop the exposure

Develop or photograph the projected image if desired
