DIY photo light box

Our handyman (Daddy dearest) is at it again. This time he helped our son create a light box, a DIY photo light box.

The materials are simple and inexpensive except for the light bulbs. From the usual ‘tambak‘ inside the house, hubby was able to collect karton box, parchment paper, and a shaky camera tripod.

The procedure is simple: 

Find an old carton box. Slit the corners to create a wide opening…place two led lamp of about 20 watts each inside. Cover the front with transparent paper for a soft light effect. The old camera tripod is used as stand. 

The photo light box, by the way, was intended for Kyle’s photography class project.

Labelers

I took these labelers out to try if they are still working. I kept them for a while because the kids no longer find it cute to have their school stuff adorned with colorful name labels. I’m thinking of using these labelers for other purpose like placing a label to opaque food containers. I could also use these to label containers with stuffs that are off limits to kids like prescription medicine.
