DIY Tutorial – Building Diffusion Panel

Today we are going to build a DIY diffusion panel. you can use it to either diffuse or bounce lights to get a softer look and get rid of the harsh shadows.

To built your own diffusion board all you need is:

PVC pipe cutters (or you can use a saw)

4 x 90 degree PVC elbow

1 x bag of zip ties

Semi transparent fabric, in our case we went with a curtain we found in Ikea.
