This afternoon was super rad, thanks to RadMegan’s DIY lightbox class at Craftcation!
I made the coolest, cheapest lightbox ever!
Here everyone is working on their boxes:
And here’s how mine worked. This is the object in full sun, outside the lightbox:
See how it’s super shadowy and hard to tell what it is?
Here’s the difference that the light box made:
Still not an awesome picture, this was all just with my phone, but the glare is cut way down, the background is soft… Definitely worth exploring more!




Thanks so much Stephanie! I linked to this post in my Craftcation re-cap here: http://radmegan.blogspot.com/2012/03/craftcation-conference-inspiring-diy.html (Which DOES include a sassy photo of you modeling the light box ;)
Hope you enjoy it!

Cool! I’ve been wanting to make a lightbox for a long time. I’ve got to improve upon the ramshackle lighting situation I have going on :)
