i made my soft focus filter by cutting a strip of black matboard paper long enough to go around the lens (and overlap a little) .make the strip as long as the lens(=the width of it i mean).
fold it around the lens and tape the ends together; don't make it too snug because you want it to be fairly easy to take on and off.
for the soft focus filter i've used a clear plastic bag (like a ziplock bag), but any clear plastic that is reasonably hard will do.
make a circle to fit on one of the ends of the strip (use the taped strip as a tracer so you can get the exact size of the circle), cut any preferred hole in the middle of this circle of the plastic and tape the circle on to the strip of mat board paper, covering one of the ends of it... and boom! there's your soft focus filter!

as you can see you can make 1/2 splitzers, 3/4 splitzers, or make them the same way as the soft surround filter (using black paper of course)... the sky is the limit when you're making a splitzer.
it's really, really easy to make both of these filters
