During a solar eclipse, a small hole punched in a card casts a shadow that shows the shape of the Sun at that point in the eclipse progression.

You can use this to spell out your name, like I did during the 2017 solar eclipse (a partial eclipse in Bloomington, where I observed it while helping with campus outreach).
