From the feedback page:

"Pro's, Yes it's true, you can get a lens hood for the cost of a piece of card, a small amount of ink and a small piece of sellotape / couple of drops of glue. Fully disposable "
"Cool! What lens hood should have been! "
"Somebody went through a lot of trouble doing that but an innovative idea I must say. "
