A bucket of white paint and slap it on the walls and ceiling of a room. Aim your worklights at the walls and ceiling for the largest, softest light source you can manage. You'd want to be sure the lights have the same colour temperature, so you might be best using just your two 250 watt ones, assuming they are the same model. Get a grey card to do a white balance (a colour calibration chart would be ideal, but more $$$). Use a tripod and an ir remote + timer for the exposure.
If painting a room isn't an option, you can also make a giant light tent using cheap, semi-translucent white bath curtains hung from your ceiling. We're talking dollar store quality, so use double layers as diffusion material if necessary. Again, take the time to set up a good white balance and keep your light temperatures the same. Cheap options like this can be tough to work with for colour temperatures, but with consistency you can do ok with a low budget.
