Using a cable release on your pinhole camera makes exposure times easier to control and also reduces vibrations when opening the shutter, so your pictures will be sharper. Now I only need to test if the whole thing is light-proof. :)
You will need:
-cutter and scissors
-electrical tape, sello tape
-metal ruler
-super glue
-a piece of balsa wood ( I used some canvas stretcher I had at home, I guess you could use two popsicle sticks glued together and cut to the right size)
-an old floppy disc (the ones with metal are better)
-a cable release (I got mine on Apliu Street in Sham Shui Po for 5 HK$)

-a cable release (I got mine on Apliu Street in Sham Shui Po for 5 HK$)
1. Cut the disc. Using the metal ruler cut the floppy disc. Cut through the plastic a few times on both sides then break off the lower part.
2. Next glue the piece of balsa wood on to the metal part with super glue. Align the balsa wood with the end of the sliding metal part.
3. Secure the wood with some tape.
4. Add the cable release Find the right position for the cable release and secure it with tape. Make sure it cannot move to the sides.
And that's it. I hope you like it!
