I got board and decided to make a Soft box diffuser for my speed light to aid in some simple portrait shoots.
It's kind of crude but I uses a strong thin cardboard and Decoupaged a colored paper over it so its pretty ridged and lightweight, for the diffuser I used this fibres type large mailing envelope, its durable and the light diffusion is great.
I added some hemp accents and trim for a little vintage-isa type flair and a strap with a buckle to secure it to my Yongnuo Speedlite. its neat but not too practical because I can't break it down and put it in my bag, but it was fun to make and worked pretty well. ill be using it more this coming week for a small shoot, Ill post results.
let me know you thoughts on my DIY and what you may have used if you made some DIY light goodies.
