Paper towel roll, turned over flower pot with hole cut into it, solid tupperware with hole cut open for entry... the possibilities are endless

That is about all I could come up with.

yep
depending on size of the leo's I use empty toilet roll tubes, kitchen roll tubes, plantpot saucers with holes cut (the bigger ones I cut in half and put a backing in the cut edge to make half-cicles), empty meat trays (again with a entrance cut), empty deli trays, small cardboard gift boxes and even make my own from polystyrene and grouting
Funnily enough what I've found with my leo's is that they prefer the 'low to the ground' type of DIY hide to bought hides

If you have some clean egg crates at home, maybe you could stack a few pieces to make a temporary shelter.

If I already have a hide on his cold section... and I don't think i will be able to pick up another one in the near future, is that OK? He mainly uses that one anyway. Or should I Make One.

Mkae your gecko one, that is all we use here and the geckos love them, less attractive.. yea, but they geckos aren't stressed and that is always good.
