Here are the steps to assemble your DIY diffuser: Step 1: Make a Frame from the Cardboard Box Ruler, marker, and a craft knife/box cutter for measuring and cutting the box.We used a cotton bandana (because it was already cut to the size we wanted) bought from a hobby store. You can also use thin, translucent nonwoven material that you can buy from places that sell cloth. A thin piece of white cloth that light can shine through.Office supply stores, moving companies, home improvement stores, or Walmart/Target all sell them for less than $2.00 each. You might have one around the house, or you can save a box from your next online purchase. A medium sized corrugated box of about 18”x18”x16”.Materials Need for DIY Photography Diffuser Light shines through the diffuser and onto the object to be photographed. We’re referring to the translucent sheet of fabric or plastic placed in front of a studio light. To be clear, when we say diffuser, we’re not talking about the silver, half-dome thing often attached to a camera flash. For $20 or less on places like Amazon, you should be able to find not only white and silver diffusers and reflectors but also sets in multiple colors. If you would rather buy a commercial product, you can absolutely do that without spending a lot of money. So, we made our own diffuser and reflector.
