Creating a Photo Light Box

   

    I have been wanting to make a light box for a while now.   I finally made one.   Yes, it does make a difference!   I read a lot of blogs, look at scrapbook galleries, and watch YouTube videos. I have always wondered how their pictures turn out so bright and true to color. Light bulb moment - I needed a light box.    If you google or search on YouTube for "light box" you will come up with a lot of choices and tutorials. I chose to go with the cardboard box option.   Here are the two videos that I used as my tutorial when making my box.  These are perfect and will explain everything if you want to make your own box.  

Supplies Needed:

Cardboard Box

Packing Tape

White Tissue Paper

White Poster Board

Box Cutter and Scissors

Good Light Source with daylight bulbs

Here is how mine turned out and how I will be using this light box.

The small tripod is from Best Buy and my camera is a Canon SD1400 IS. I just have the box sitting on my craft desk and will be storing it underneath the desk when not in use.

For my light source, I am using my Ott light and my tall corner lamp. The most important thing about this project is to use the new daylight light bulbs.

I love how my pictures look. So clean and bright. No more glare or dark colors.

Thanks for looking! Have a great day!!
