DIY mini softbox (1/6) - a photo on Flickriver

            Materials:
A4 (or Letter) sized translucent plastic binder
3 self-adhesive velcro strips (2 hook, 1 loop)
1 tissue
1 tissue-sized sheet of sticky-backed plastic film
Aluminium tape
Double-sided tape


The front of the binder was cut off and folded across the width to give a suitable profile. The plastic isn't very keen to stay folded at more than 90 degrees so multiple folds were necessary. These also give it a certain amount of rigidity.

Velcro hook self-adhesive strips were added to mount it to the flash head's velcro "speedstrap".
