How Do You Make A Light Box For Photographing Small Objects?
Buying a ready-made light box or pop-up light tent for photographing small objects can cost $100 or more. That’s a steep price tag for what’s essentially a fabric box with a hole in the front. You can duplicate the same product on a shoestring budget; under $10 in many cases. This project will take you about an hour to complete once you have all your supplies organized. Trim the flaps out of the open end of your cardboard box. Set it open end up. Measure and mark a 2-inch border all the way around each side of the box on the outside. Don’t mark anything on the bottom. Poke your scissors into the center of one side and cut out to the border you drew, then finish cutting along the border and remove the inner portion you just cut out. Repeat on the other three sides. You should now have a flat, unbroken bottom, a two-inch hollow frame on four sides, and an open top. Mark lines from edge to edge of the posterboard, spaced 2 inches apart. Cut along the lines, creating strips of posterboard
