Why don't you want to use a projector? They're literally designed to do what you want, what with the high-intensity lamp, lens, and convenient film transport mechanism. Plus you can get em cheap.

A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I’m working with a 35mm negatives & this is for a project that is due soon. I don’t have to do this idea for the project, I was just seeing if I could project the film without having to buy additional things
Negatives? You understand that they'll be projected as negatives, right? Orange messes that nobody can comprehend?
You need to get them comverted to positives, or shoot with slide film if you want to project them.
You can't just blast light through a slide and get an image, you need a lens to focus it. It'd be like trying to take a photo without a lens on your camera.
