Good info. The light in your link is no longer available. You might want to post an alternative as an update. I like that this is foldable!

I’m an industrial designer going in the E-commerce world, this video is pure gold! Thank you!

EXACTLY what I was looking for! I have limited storage space and wanted something that folds flat. Other DIYs didn't have a fold-up option. This is perfect!

[mmhodges]

Thank you. A collapsible light box was what I was looking for. Your directions were easy to follow and the box came out great!

Well done! Finally someone showing how to build a Lightbox correctly

[salveod]

Thanks al lot! Really well made, I'll take inspiration to make mine

Non-fusible interfacing you can find in the sewing section of stores like Joanns, Michaels and Wlamart works great as a diffuser and if you put the holes on the sides and use the lights like I did you have less chance of burning things up. I bought 2 1000 lumen Husky brand lights at Home Depot for light and cut holes in the sides to have light coming in that way instead and can add a third on top if I want. The lights are @$19 ea and have a handle that lets you prop them up next to the box on the sides so you don't have to find a way to rig them.

Thank you! This was clear and easy to follow.

I heard vellum paper works well too. Going to make this today. Thanks!

[Icefy_YT]

Just built this, worked out amazing, and I already had everything pretty much, thanks!

You crushed it man as an 18 year old reseller this puts me ahead of the game I just made mine and use the exact same light (scored 3 of them for 40$ on eBay) and it’s a game changer my only tweak was not making it foldable And making it as wide as the card stock

[HisValor]

Wow, excellent video! I feel confident to build a light box now

[italiagrl]

Best tutorial and materials I have seen. 10/10

You can use a matt cutter to make the beveled cuts. Not necessary but I happen to have one. Thanks for the great video!

[paulettepickard]

I tried this. I messed up with the tape at first & my exacto knife wasn't sharpe enough but I got it together!👍😄
