yes, we’ve made one!
Sunday 2:30pm — at cyberjaya, slightly drizzling outside; cool weather.
2:34pm: an idea to make our own lighbox popped out! So here we go.
- one Antonius frame ~ RM20, we bought this about 2 months back from IKEA Damansara (with the bag) Oppss.. that was Sarah’s laundry bag that became the victim. Only needed the frame, so the bag has to go.
- 4 pieces of white flourescent bulbs (we use 4 because each is only 8Watts, we need to have at least 15Watts on each sidelightings) ~ 4 x RM12/each = RM48.
- 4 pieces of white strawboard panel ~ RM6.50/each, from Tesco Puchong
- cable ties (you can buy one bag from Tesco outlets, maybe about RM0.10/pc but Tesco actually sells this in a big packet eventhough you’ll only be needing about 40 pieces to tie the strawboards on the antonius frame)
- Total cost ~ RM150.00
|
The frame was just perfect at W38xD35, H67cm dimension |
8Watts white flourescent lightbulbs. The white background is the strawboard. |
You’ll just need to affix all the strawboards onto the 5 sides of the box frame: you’ll need cable tie for this. Fix two flourescent lights on each sides of the box. Once all is fixed, you can then use a white paper as the background. And here is the final product.
And muffin too.
Total time taken: slightly over 1 hour.
Results? You’ll be the judge.
