You can make one out of two 35mm canisters.  Cut the bottom out of one of them 
(A dremel tool works really well), and shove it into the top of another with a 
bit of glue.  The circumfrence of the inside would be about 9cm, so it won't be 
totally wrap around, but it will give you some room to put the pinhole.  These 
are also good for keeping rolls of 120 film.  Especially if you use a home-made 
camera or a holga that doesn't wind the film very tight.  You can tell if a 
roll is exposed or not by shaking the canister, because a roll with the foil on 
the outside won't rattle around, and an exposed roll without the foil wrapper 
will rattle around.

  Subject: [pinhole-discussion] `wrap around` 6x6 pinhole cylinder


  This pinhole camera maker is looking for cylinder container that can be snap 
or screw capped easily in dark. This should be made of material easy to cut 
such as that of a 35mm film can and be just large enough to hold a 6x6 snip of 
120 roll film. It should have a diameter just large enough to line all but a 
quarter-inch or so with the film. I like to call it `wrap around panoramic`. 
Does anyone out there know of a product container that could be used in this 
way.                                         -mike
