How to make a CHEAP DIY light box for product photography for your phone from the dollar tree

Well, we have all seen ads for these pretty nifty lighbox thingys on facebook and instagram.

But, they are pretty expensive! (You can buy it here, if you are interested!)

Selling stuff on ebay, etsy, amazon or other e-commerce sites? You are going to need a more professional Images to make the sell.

But what if there was a way to make one from some stuff around your house and the dollar tree?

Gather your materials:

4 foam poster boards

2 regular poster boards

1 table

random LED (they burn light blue in color) light sources

tape

wax paper for diffuser panels.

Now set it up. (see the video above.)

Use the free app RAW + for more manual control of your phone camera.

Now it's time to edit the photos. I use SNAPSEED for all of my phone editing needs.

Now snap away and show your work.

If you don't have LED lights at home, use a LARGE light source, like a big window or garage door.
