How do I dual boot Snow Leopard & Lion (already installed)?

So, I was a little late to the news about creating a dual boot for Lion before installing. Now is there still a way to create a dual boot for Snow Leopard if I'm already running Lion, without doing a system restore? Any video links would really be a plus.

Just create a partition on your hard drive with Disk Utility and then install Snow Leopard to that partition.

I am new to mac. I understand how to use disk utility and how to partition, how large would I need to make the partition for SL. Also I have SL on disk, so how would I boot into that partition so I could install SL?

I upgraded from SL to Lion.
