I needed a light box and didn't feel like spending the money
I had been using a glass table temporarily, but it needed to go back to it's owner so I had to find a new light box.

Step 1First you need your mats. Be warned, this will make a big mess!
-
Step 2You will want to cut the flaps off of the two boxes.
-
Step 3Then you have to cut the bottoms of the boxes off.
-
Step 4MY SCISSORS BROKE!!!! :(
-
Step 5Hot glue the two boxes on top of each other so they are twice the height and you have a long cardboard tunnel.
-
Step 6Hot glue the glass to the picture frame.
-
Step 7Decorate your box using colored paper, paint, marbled paper, etc.
-
Step 8I put stickers, old cards, and old valentines on mine. If it's not a sticker, you can attach it by cutting a piece of contact paper that is larger than what you want to apply over it and stick it on.
-
Step 9Then decorate the picture frame. I put little Cat's Eye Decor Stones and buttons (and one googly eye) on mine.
-
Step 10Cut a little hole towards the bottom of the box to let the cord of the lamp out.
-
Step 11Place the Lap in the box and pull the cord through the hole in the bottom and place the picture frame over the box. Then you can turn on the lamp and start tracing!!!
Thanks for sharing!
