From the feedback page:

"This is definitely an interesting link. I'd never would thought of creating a lens hood out of cardstock. This is great, I've been contemplating whether I should spend money on the hood for my Canon macro lens. At least now there's alternative solution to my problem. "
"Thanks! Thought about it for a while, but never got to doing it. Your tips saves me time! Will use good paper or plastic so it will last longer:-) "
"These DIY hoods are the cheap alternatives to the originals. "
