DIY Diffuser / Softbox

I've made myself a diffuser / softbox today. Its not very pretty but works fine! You can get the templates here. I've used cardboard boxes from snack and ziplock box and tissue paper as the diffuser.





Here are the shots. Note these shots were taken with full-auto and position the speedlite at 90 degree-angel. No alteration!

With the homemade softbox


With Sto-Fen's Omni-Bounce diffuser

What you think? I think the homemade softbox works just as well as the Sto-Fen and cost nothing to make.
