Doesn't such a plastic trash bag wrinkle up?  The diffuser must be
even.

As far as illumination is concerned: Two steps of diffusing are
enough.  So, illuminate your ceiling, and point the diffusor on the
lens to the ceiling.  Then, the ceiling scatters the light, and the
diffusor does it again.

It wouldn't work if the left half of the diffuser area got less
light than the right half.  But this should only happen if you point
a lamp directly to the diffuser, possibly even in short distance.
Therefore, the ceiling as an intermediate step: It enlarges the
effective distance to the light source, and adds scattering.

Tschö,
Torsten.
