Introduction: Printable Paper Pop-Up Flash Diffuser/Reflector

The following are instructions for a pop up flash diffuser that can be printed and made with a single sheet of printer paper. It does not require any tape/glue, and can be folded flat for storage. 

Materials needed:

1 sheet of printer paper (card stock might be better)
1 pair of scissors
1 piece of aluminum foil (optional)


Step 1: Print, Cut, Fold

Cut along the solid lines, Fold along the dotted ones (using a ruler can help make a nice fold)

Step 2:

To attach the diffuser, start by insetting the long front tab into the hot-shoe.
Insert the two rear tabs on top, and VOILA!

Step 3: Optional Reflector

If you want to use the diffuser to bounce more light off the ceiling for a more natural look, simply cut a 6cm by 10 cm piece of aluminum foil and hook it onto the diffuser. 

Step 4: Shooting

DONE!

Install your diffuse and shoot, you shouldn't have to fiddle with any settings.
