I just gave this a go and it works. Basic pinhole camera with two sheets of paper. Make a pinhole in one. Hold the other sheet in its shade.
It's a small image but you can see the eclipse outline.

Last eclipse I was present for I put on a welding helmet with dark sunglasses underneath. That worked pretty good to look directly at the sun. Honestly it's cooler to look at the shadows from leaves and other things making crazy crescent patterns.

This is what my dad did. I travelled to a zone of a total eclipse near the millennium. It was overcast. Still an unforgettable experience. It was quite eerie.

The last eclipse, I made a cereal box viewer. It worked exceptionally well and the only cost was the cereal box, a small amount of tape, a tiny bit of aluminum foil. Even ignoring that you're getting cereal to eat, this viewer only costs about $3.
