Yeah that didn't work well. Not as bad as the naked eye though.
To safely look directly at the sun, you need eclipse glasses that can reduce the intensity by roughly 100,000 times - in fact so dark that you can’t see anything else other than a dim glowing orb in the sky.
Also fun-fact, the retina at the back of the eye has no pain receptors, so you don’t know that it is being burnt and permanently damaged!

I made a pinhole camera, just a pinhole in a piece of paper projecting the image onto the white frame of the double glazing.
We all saw the 1999 total eclipse from Chesil Beach, then seconds later a black cloud moved in... but our twins were too young to really understand what was happening.

Saw the crescent with a pin-hole projector/camera.
