How to make a lightbox

Step 4Folding and putting everything together

Folding and putting everything together
This must be the hardest part. I will not explain in detail how this is done because the video tells everything.

Before you fold, make sure you have a platform or a table top. Use the edge to guide you with the folding. This must be perfect, you don't want your light box to look like crap. Fold the major sides first, then you can start folding the parts that make up the staircase design.

This is a little tricky, the dotted line are suppose to be folded, not cut. You have to work your way and see which of the dotted line should be folded inward or outwards. I strongly suggest you try making the lightbox using paper first, so you know which part must be folded which way.

Use double sided tape to put the base and the box together. Before pasting, make sure your bulb is already inside and tested. You can't separate the base and box after pasting it together.
