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

Sarah’s antonius laundry bag was the victim!	The frame was just perfect at W38xD35, H67cm dimension. The bag has to go	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.
