That is so cool. No fussing around with cords and looks so portable. Light boxes usually cost about $50.

Genius! Makes you want to go into hardware stores (or any kind of store) and really look at things in a different way to see what other way it could be used!

That is easy!
This is tracing pad works fantastic and it's very portable, thin, and pretty. I bought it at Walmart on clearance for $10. It has LED lights and uses 3AA batteries.http://www.crayolastore.com/product_...C&kw={keyword}

I bought one from Amazon, however, I find it doesn't light very brightly all around the surface. I was a little disappointed.

Mine lights up the whole space. There may be different models of them. ?
