How to make a pinhole camera.



Get yourself an empty tin E.g. a hot chocolate tin, some black paint and a paintbrush. Then paint the inside of your tin and your lid black.


For this next part you need scissors, a scalpel, a pin, a permanent marker, sandpaper, black electrical tape, a ruler and a foil baking tray. Once you have got these, with the scalpel you then need to cut a 2cm by 2cm square 6cm up from the bottom of your tin. 





You then need to cut a square twice the size of your square hole in you tin out of the foil baking tray. Once you have cut this square you then need to get your pin and pierce a hole in the middle of your foil. after piercing your hole, you then need to sand one side of the foil down and colour the it in with the black permanent marker (make sure there are no shiny bits showing).

 
For this last part you need to place the piece of foil over the square (make sure the black side is facing the inside of the tin). With the black electrical tape you need to stick down each side of the foil. Finally you need to create a small flap with the tape to cover the pin hole, do this by cutting a piece of tape that will cover the piece of foil and fold over the end of the tape so that you can peel it back.

Once you have done this you are ready to go.
