Step 2: X Marks the Spot

The making is very simple,
1)Take your Chart paper (I used an invitation card lying around) and Mark out your dimensions on it. You can alter it to suit your camera.
My paper was 10 cm wide and 20 cm Tall.
I marked a 2 cm "LIP" and folded the rest into 3-Equidistant folds (6 Cm X 3 = 18 cm).

Step 3: Bring on the Cutter

2) Mark position for your Pop-Up flash and Cut the rectangle

Step 4: Fold It

3) Mark out the Front Window and cut it out

4) Paste Butter paper (or other translucent material that lets out a nice, Diffused light) onto the front Window.

5) Fold the Paper exactly like a triangle and Glue the "LIP" to maintain shape.

Step 5: Say CheezZZ!

Thats it!
Mount your Freshly made Flash diffuser and Shoot away. No more harsh shadows, No more blinding Glare.
Oh! I am sure your new home-made item will bring on a humble smile to your followers. Time to take a pic!!
