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).

But won't it Block too much light? It's quite thick. Also vellum tends to yellow over time.
As an Upgrade, I changed the Butter paper to diffused Translucent Plastic. Very durable and more efficient.

Vellum would make a good filter.
