Step Three:
- Now that you have your two boxes, paint both black, inside and outside. If you're using a shoebox, paint the entire box black, inside included.
Step Three:
- Using the xacto knife or Stanley knife, cut out a flap or lid in one side of the box. Don't make the flap too large, about 5cm by 5cm.
Step Four:
- From the inside, tape a piece of tin foil over the flap. Make sure its large enough to cover the entire opening.
Step Five:
- Carefully, poke a small hole in the tin foil with the pin.

Step Six:
- Decorate the outside of your Pinhole Camera any way you wish.
Now that you have your Pinhole Camera, its time to take a photo with it! Sticky tape a square of photographic paper to the opposite side of your box from your pinhole. Take your Pinhole Camera to where you want to shoot. Place it steady and open the flap. If its dark and cloudy, leave the flap open for longer and extend the exposure time. If it's a sunny, bright day, limit the exposure time and don't leave it open too long.
After leaving the flap open for the right amount of exposure time, close the flap and take you Pinhole Camera to the dark room, where you will need to develop you photograph.
