How To Build A light Box CHEAP !! - 10/31/2007 10:39:27 AM    madpaddla Posts: 4141 Joined: 12/29/2005 From: The great state of New England Status: offline Hello all: After seeing the ink post and with alot of us losing light in the coming months.  how are we going to take great pics? And b/c I am not rich I started Googling: Google:  Studio Light Box Here is a great link that I found for a cheap one.  Get the kids involved or make it cheap.  I think this one works cause I made one last night.  It tells you all the materials, what kind of light bulbs, everything.  ENJOY.

But I did not have a big enough box....so I used that really thick white Elmers foam board. I had 6 sheets of it lying around.  I also had some white muslin, but I still need to cover 1 square, so I am not attaching it yet.   I wonder how big the one on the website is??  Mine is 20"x20".  Thanks for the directions Ben. I had a babysitter last night and instead of going out I made this. (in reply to karis66) Post #: 5
