How to Make Your Own Lightbox for Under $7: A Video Tutorial

A few weeks ago we shared an image that we had snapped with our iPhone inside a DIY lightbox. You guys wanted to know how to make your own so we decided to put together a little video for you that walks you through step-by-step. Having your own diffuser is key to creating white, bright and seamless images. You can shoot small objects inside your own diffuser to post to your Etsy shop, Instagram shots, product images and more. 

We'd love to see your diffusers and the shots you take! Tag us on Instagram @ThinkCreativeCollective and use #TCCTips! Watch the tutorial below!

Your supply list:

  • 3 Sheets of White Foam Core Board

  • 3 Sheets of Transparency/Transfer Paper or Tissue Paper

  • Tape

  • Ruler

  • X-acto Knife

  • Pencil

  • Roll of White Craft Paper 

Here are a few before and afters for your viewing pleasure! These are all shot with an iPhone 6 and edited with Pic-Tap-Go (our favorite editing app for on the go snaps!)
