There's quite a bit of documentation on 126 pinhole cameras on the
web. Kodak use to have a page on it before the 126 film format was
discontinued. I have a copy of the original Kodak how-to page stored here
(with Kodak's permission):

Here's another, similar how-to page:

A search at google.com for "126 pinhole camera" will display many more links.

And here's a photo I uploaded last year of some of the camera bodies I've
used out of paper towel and toilet paper tubes:
