Custom making a solar filter for a DSLR lens.
This is only a demo using a sheet of paper.
What you need....
1mm crafting card board
Good quality tape is essential.
Double sided tape
Sharp scissors.
A pencil.
A small piece of solar film.

1. Mark out the size of your lens hood.
2. Mark out another larger circle.
3. Cut out your circle using the larger circle as a guide.
4. Mark the space between the circles with evenly spaced lines.
5. Cut these lines almost to the edge of the inner circle. These are going to overlap to give the filter it's custom fit. You don't want any stray light getting in, so take care.
