How to Make an Oat Meal Tin Camera


This project is rather simple. You can do it with your family, your kids, your students or your friends. We have supplied photos as a visual guide, rather than lengthy descriptions.

This project aims to help you design and make your own camera.You don't need to follow every step and the materials we use exactly. We recommend that you read through our project before you start to design your own camera.
