I've done this extensively in workshops and can send you a handout I use for disposable cameras if you wish. some brands work better than others because they can take a normal 35mm cassette, others use a cassette that has a castellated or splined spool top. A nylon quarter-20 nut epoxied to the bottom of the camera can be a tripod socket and some students have made foam-core sliding shutters though black tape works as well.
I love the so-called disposable cameras. Let me know if you want the handout and I'll get it to you (and anyone else who might want it) this weekend. Right now I'm closing in a deadline getting an editorial memo to a guy who was CEO and Chairman of a 40 billion dollar company and whose honesty and integrity could make one believe in big business again.
