DIY Eclipse Box

Hey DIYers! Are you hyped about the eclipse happening tomorrow? I know I am! It's really important to be safe during the eclipse though, because if you look directly at it, it'll damage your retinas. Eclipse glasses are nearly sold out, which is why today's DIY will help you view the eclipse with items you probably have around your home. It's a DIY Eclipse Viewing Box Projector! Let's get started. Projector Using a Box This type of pinhole projector works on the same principle as a  basic pinhole projector . However, the box makes this projector much sturdier and easier to set on a surface. And it only requires a few extra items to construct.
