How to Make a Paper Camera?

Back in the days of Communism, people made paper pinhole cameras to pass the time. Neat stuff. Forget digital, this is the analogest of the anolog.

The design was significantly improved by sticking on a thin piece of metal with a hole, rather than making the hole in the paper, as described in the instructions. I didn't follow this suggestion, however, since I wanted to experience the real magic of Dirkon photography.
