Daniel,
Butter tub flash diffuser.
Step 1, Eat the butter
Step 2, Wash the tub out
Step 3, Mark the outline of your flash head on the bottom of the tub, and with a sharp knife, make a cut out that is a tight fit over the flash head
Step 4, Line the inside of the tub with crumpled aluminium foil (Crumpled to avoid hot spots in the flash output)
Step 5, Using a double thickness of white kitchen paper, create a diffuser over the front (top) of the tub, and fix it with sellotape. Kitchen paper is reasonably tough, cheap to replace, and white enough not to create an unacceptable colour cast.
I took this opportunity to replace the paper on my diffuser, so I could show you the steps, but it was still in acceptable condition after about 15 months use.
Please forgive the fact that I didn't stop down to get good depth of field, but as my flash was being used as a model, I was too lazy to do anything about it, like getting out a tripod. I think it's fairly self explanatory.
