Cheap Light Tent Alternative For Photos

Hi, this is my 1st instructable. I needed an low cost solution to take better photos of smaller items. So I made this light tent from materials around the house. In the end it cost me about 1.00 for a few poster boards. Everything else is recycled. But you can make one at a very low cost.

Step 1 Materials

In essence you only need a few things. Thin wood (1x1" or 2x2" should work fine"), some white paper or fabric, glue/tape, white paint and a few nails & hammer.
I recycled my "frame" from some broken baby gates. I cut all the plastic mesh off of them with an box cutter. But you could make yours from wood strips. Measurements would depend on what size you wanted your box to be. After I cut out the mesh I painted the wood white & set them aside to dry. Later, I pieced them together to make an open cube shape.
