I made a lightbox today and am in the process of photographing some new items for Etsy. I'd add one thing: since you'll be dependent on the light from the lightbox and your flash shouldn't be going off, it's important to use a tripod to get the clearest photos and eliminate the blurriness most of us create without it!

Just completed mine and took my first set of photographs. My cookie colors pop and the possibilities for background changes are limitless. Funny thing about the price of Bristol board. It was approx. $.50 when you wrote this tutorial and I paid $1.50 per board this past weekend. Inflation! Total cost was only $13 including the light. AWESOME tutorial!

I was looking around to see if I have all the right materials, and I'm curious if white tissue, like the kind used in gift packing, could be used in place of fabric, or if the fabric has some properties which help with light diffusion?

I originally saw it from a pin on Pinterest, and I couldn't wait to try it. I tweaked a few of the steps and overall I love the result! I have had so much fun having photo shoots in my light tent.
