Light Tent + Congratulations Dave!!!

Our house has terrible lighting, so I’m constantly fighting to try and get nice photos of my crafts. I finally decided it was time to make a light tent. I found this great tutorial from Digital Photography School to make one with mostly supplies I had laying around. I don’t know what “bristol board” is, so I just used poster board.
Here’s my light tent in action. It worked like a charm! Now I’ve got to find some fun colored poster board so I can have different backgrounds.
My husband got into his first architecture graduate program this week! Congratulations Dave! I thought that warranted a pencil case (using my tutorial) for him to keep all of his cool architecture pencils in next year. And look how beautifully it photographed in my new light tent.

Now I want to do this. I’ve been procrastinating. You can also smooth out some fabric to use for a background. I love when people do that on etsy.

Very nice! Bristol board is about the same thickness as poster board, but with a more matte finish. I totally need to make one of those. And, I would like a nicer camera, too. Congratulations Dave! Very exciting!
