Build A Light Box On The Cheap, Take Gorgeous Photos!

It doesn't matter what you call it: light tent, light cube, light box, macro photo studio, or a mini photo studio... with some cheap supplies, a hobby knife, and a couple of lamps, you can get your DIY on -and- make some gorgeous photos!

Soft glowing surfaces, sharp details, warm tone, all thanks to the miracle of diffusion. We show you how to build one, why diffused light looks so good, and show you how it works.

Whether it's art or just snaps of collectibles you're gonna sell on e-bay, a low cost light box can make a major difference!

I watched 27 videos on how to make a light box. Yours was by far the best. It took me 15 minutes to put together, and it works great! Great job guys!

Used parchment (baking) paper, instead of tissue paper. It's a bit more durable & works great! Thanks for the great tutorial DIY Tryin' dudes!

This was SOOOO helpful to my event planning business! I doubt either of you sew clothes very much but sewing interfacting available at any fabric store or even Wal Mart is a great more durable alternative to the tissue paper. Thanks for the video!

Silly thought:

Very helpful! I especially like the way you made the thing foldable by leaving a gap between the boards. That's great for those of us in small spaces.

I saw your video, went out, got the stuff and made myself a light box which works perfectly. Thank you, you saved me a lot of money.

Love this! thank you! Need something like this for small handmade projects and gently used items for resale. Light boxes are so expensive!

[teresabloodworth]

The lights are found at Rural King or other Country stores. I use them to keep my chickens warm in the winter, and to hatch new chicks. ;-) Thanks for the great LIght Box tutorial. Gonna make one tonight and have a whole new look on my Etsy sight!

I used my light box to take pictures of my jewelry that I'm going to try to sell! It worked great! Thanks!

Awesome! I can't wait to make my own photo light box! I have my own shop I'm a amigurumi crochet artist and needed a way to take photos of my creations with no shadows and when natural light isn't available. Thanks guys, keep it crafty ;)

Love the video. Huge fan of the light box, but I am even more astonished at the fact that I've never thought to clip my lights to a piece of wood before. That makes the perfect base to move it around when there isn't something close to clip it on. Genius! 

[RachelDbeis]

I found the beginning quite useful actually as it's nice to understand the concepts behind the light box, so thanks for info! When I'm ready to build the box I'll skip to 3:40. Cheers for putting in the effort guys!

Great video....I'm starting up a jewellery business and didn't know how  to make a light box. Tried taking pics outside on found things but that just wasn't cutting it.  Going to make my light box today!  Thanks guys!!
