You'll only get diffraction when the slits are comparable to the wavelength of the light, i.e., on the order of a micron. I believe you can see light peeking out through a micron slit if you're looking directly at it in a dark room, but I don't think it's feasible to see diffraction in shadows. The fuzziness you see in normal shadows comes from the finite angular size of the light source, not the wave nature of light.
