Cheap light box

Step 6 Clean up and sticky feet

It's all done... slid around on a table.. so I added some little squishy stick on feet so it won't slide around.

Now I am ready to do some old school animation! I will still use the computer to scan, color and compile... but that will come another time.

love! My school has several BROKEN light boxes, and due to budget restrains they are not fixing them yet. This is a GREAT solution to my Light Box Needs!!! Thanks!

Broken? Sounds like you have all the makins for ones that go in cases.

This also works for stenciling?

I really want to make one of these, it seems like it would work well for traditional animation. Just wondering what was the total price for everything you bought?

this was and is a perfect idea for an artist who like traveling u might have a little issue with security if u r riding in a plane but other than that is perfect for the ever traveling artist.

Do you think this would work for small-scale screen printing? The plastic cover would have to be clear instead of milky. I know this is a rather specialized question, but I'm looking to start screen printing at home, and I don't have room for a giant light table.

Wonderfully practical, and stylish! Thanks for taking the time to write this!

I like this... it's a way to show the crazy things I design and build. All the positive comments aren't bad ether.

This would work great for photographers (who still use film) on the road as well. Keep all the plastic sheets, markers etc in the top and just throw it down in any hotel room.
