Sometimes you see those little translucent plastics covering the flash component of a camera. That is called a diffuser. It scatters the light from the flash bulb, giving off a softer tone.

(without a diffuser, the light is very direct and intense, not good for portraits)

You can use a variety of plastics to use as a diffuser as long as its translucent. For this photo, I used a DVD case that was white and translucent.
