How To Make An Inexpensive Light-Box

Every good Etsy-ian knows that good photos can mean the difference between making sales or not. Even the best items can flop with a bad photo. But how do you get good photos?

One technique is to put your items in a light box. This will give your items plenty of light and produce a crisp white background, letting your items stand out and really be shown clearly to your potential buyers.

A good friend of mine showed me a great way to make your own inexpensive light box, and I knew I had to share it with everyone! You can find the tutorial here.
