Build A Light Box For Products

If you are an artist or a craftsman, you will find many uses for a light box. A light box is easy and fun to build and even more fun to use for your photography projects---specifically, the pictures that you take of products you want to sell. Either for professional or amateur sales, a light box is definitely the way to go to show off all of the intricate details of your items.


Instructions


1. Lay three of the poster board sheets end to end. Use the masking tape to tape the sheets together at the seams. The tape is flexible, so it will act as a sort of hinge. Turn the two end sheets up 90 degrees to the center piece.


2. Use the two additional poster board sheets to create a five-sided box by using the masking tape to attach them. Don't use the masking tape on the inside of the box unless it is pure white like the poster board.


3. Clip the desk lamps on the edges of the box facing inward to get the light effect that you want. You can use different wattage or different colors to get the light effects that you want.
