You could make a card or something with a hole in it. Hold it up in front of your lens when shooting. The size of the hole and how much it block the lens, will determine the size/amount of the vignette. Your aperture/DOF will determine the softness of your vignette. A shallow DOF should give you a soft vignette. A small aperture will give you a harder vignette.

Another trick if you want a softened, not darkened vignette is to take a cheap UV or Skylight filter and rub a little Vaseline around the outer edges of the glass.. very little - just enough to blur the edges and give a center focus..

If you are using a wide angle lens, the hood itself will create the vignette effect.
