Make a cheap light box, for artists and crafters
by Jen (May 23, 2008)
A light box is, well, a lit box with a translucent lid you can use to backlight art or craft projects. It’s similar to the light doctors hold X-rays up to on TV. Light boxes are a very handy tool for artists and crafters, but they don’t come cheap ($50 for a low end model).
Instructables has a tutorial for making your own light box for a cost of about $15. You just need a translucent plastic storage box, a fluorescent lightbulb fixture designed to be placed under a cabinet and some kind of tool that can cut through the box plastic enough to make a notch for the cord.
