I have not done this yet, but sounds like a fun weekend project for once the weather gets bad outside ;) I'll get some really cool effects in some pictures doing this. I'm sharing this so that if you would like to try to, you can. Comment below & let me know how it turns out for you.
-A matchbox !
-A new roll of 35mm film. Any type will do, but normal colour print film 100 or 200 speed works very well
-An empty roll of 35mm film with at least 1cm stub of film sticking out Ask at your local photo labs, they normally throw away/recycle these.
-Some thin cardboard ( the box the new film comes in is fine
-An empty soda can
-Black PVC electricians tape
-The plastic from a spiral binder, or any small piece of thin, curved plastic
-A fine sewing needle or pin
-Scissors
-A sharp craft knife
-A black Sharpie (I love Sharpies!)
After you have these items together then you, click here.

When learning about this, I also came across something called Solargraphy.
Solargraphy is a photographic method for recording the paths of the Sun. Solargraphy is the art of pinhole photography and a part of Space Art, too.
Solarigraphics or solargraphs are pinhole photographs taken with a lensless pinhole camera with a long exposure. By doing so the invisible movements of the Sun can be made visible in landscapes.
This link will take you to an informative blog post about Solargraphy. Below are some examples.
