This DIY pinhole camera is made from an unlikely material that will likely have you giggling or grossed out; SPAM can makes up the main body of this relatively easy at-home item. Nicknamed the 'SPAMCam", the device is made using a few materials that can be easily found in and around the home to make your very own version.

A DIY pinhole camera is a cost-effective way to capture images without the need for more expensive equipment like a [Holga](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manual-holo). The device will provide snaps that are a little bit beat up, faded and effortlessly cool. What a photographic manipulator could do in an hour on the computer can be imitated without any additional work on your part aside from actually building the camera.
