You poke a pin through a piece of cardboard. With your back toward the sun, hold the cardboard with the hole so the sun shines through it onto a white piece of paper. You look at the image on the paper to watch the progress of the eclipse. You do not look directly at the sun through the hole! Directly viewing a solar eclipse can lead to ocular damage.

There are filters that can be used to view a solar eclipse. Those are available through scientific supply houses and some retail stores (especially during a rare event).
