Hi Shannon,

that's exactly right, the thickness of the plastic does make the image smaller, plus, you will get smaller and better holes into soda-cans. The thinner the material, the hole is in, the lager your picture will be in diameter.
Take a look at my page at http://www.pinhole.q-fladen.de
All pictures on there were taken with film canisters.
