Pinhole cameras are really, really cool. I’ve never made one before in my life, but got linked to this site which does the best ready made designs for some well-designed pinhole cameras. Corbis have 3 patterns currently free to download, with two more to follow, and give instructions on how to set your camera up and get your photos developed.
My favourite of the three currently available has to be the Peyote camera design pictured. I don’t know how long it’ll take to make but it should be worth it if it turns out anything like the picture. I also don’t know about the quality of the photographs but I’ll be sure to test it and let you know. I love the spikey paper folds on the top and the square ‘lens’ on this pinhole camera but I also love the Photos of Your Mother design with it’s faux-old-fashioned design. These are definitely one of the best crafty things I’ve ever seen.
