This photo wasn't taken in a studio. It was taken in my kitchen with a light box I made with household items. I've been testing out a cheap solution to take better pictures of craft projects, but this can be used for anything. If you don't have any of the materials, just head to Bed and Bath and you can get this stuff for around 20 bucks or less (save those coupons in the mail). Most of us typically have at least one of these items somewhere in our house.
I used this tutorial on Switchboard called "Taking Professional Looking Photos without a Professional".

This is a great idea. I have put off building a light tent out of a box or pvc piping and what not because I don't have space to store one like that. It's not an issue if I can just store stuff inside the light "tent" itself. Thanks!

thankyou, this is brilliant! if you used a patterned fabric for the background would the photos still work out?

In terms of patterned fabric, i don't think that would work because the light needs to be softened to shine through, that's why the interfacing works. But it's worth a try if you want to have a patterned fabric in the back. Just make sure it's not too thick.

This is brilliant! I am always trying to find a way to make my crafts look good, but I always wanted that white background thing [I've been using computer paper, lol]. so this helps bunches!
