How do You Make a Cheap Gobo Projector?

Professional Gobo projectors are very dependable and can produce super sharp, easily controlled and precisely placed shadows. There are hundreds of Gobo patterns available in metal or etched glass or you could even have a custom Gobo made to your own design. They can be expensive though and usually outside of the budget of most hobbyist photographers. There is a cheaper way to achieve similar results using a cardboard tube (from a popular brand of baked chips or crisps), a standard 18-55mm Kit lens that you probably got when you bought your digital SLR camera and a sharp craft knife. So, go out and buy the tube of baked chips and consume the hyperbolic paraboloid snacks. (I prefer the sour cream and onion flavour), then watch this video for detailed instructions on how to make the cheap Gobo projector.
