Light Box Project






Here is a list of materials you will need to complete this low-cost light box:




  1. 5 12x12" pieces of white acrylic


  2. 1 12x22" piece of flexible polystyrene in white


  3. Acrylic Cement


  4. Double Sided Tape


Glue the five pieces of acrylic together with the acrylic cement to create a cube with one open face. This will be the side you take the picture from.



Take the double sided tape and attach a 12" strip alont the top and bottom of the styrene. Peel the backing off one side and place it inside the cube on the bottom edge. Peel the second piece of backing off and attach it to the top back of the cube.



Set up lights above the cube, and on both sides. The acrylic will filter the light and give the light box a nice glow. I am still experimenting with the correct lighting to use.



I also used suction cups with hooks on them to suspend my necklaces from.
