DIY Light Box

Here's the setup. I forgot to take pictures to show the steps. But I have the list of things you would need:

a. 1 carton box. Mine is a 50cm x 46cm x 36cm box collected from NTUC (F.O.C)
b. 1 roll of masking tape. S$2.45 @ Shop n Save
c. 3 sheets of grease-proof paper. S$1.40 @ Popular Bookstore
d. 1 piece of mahjong paper. I have some at home. Normally it is about S$0.50 per piece. You only need 1 piece for the back drop.
e. a sharp razor cutter. Think can get it at S$2.00
f. a stapler and staples. This is use for punching the sheets of grease-proof papers onto the side of the box.
g. a ruler and a pen to draw lines on box for cut outs

Total cost: Less than S$5
