I put a plexi (sp?) glass (about 30" square) with a spot light under it. I use two tables (sewing tables from Joann's) and move them apart about 2' and put the plexi glass on that. There is nothing to "make", just two things to put together.

That's what I do too! Works like a dream!!!

I bought one at Sam's Club it's great: http://www.samsclub.com/sams/lighttr...ci_sku=187380S

Also the Crayola Light Up Tracing Desk is good and is under $20.

I use the Crayola Tracing Desk. Grandsons outgrew them and I claimed them. That's called recycling

I hear what you are saying about not wanting to make one....but will throw this out just in case you
change your mind when you see the prices. You can use a simple plastic tote (clear better than frosted) and a
simple 12-18" corded flourscent 'undercounter corded light. Lights available at walmart in the lightbulb department. for between $10 and $20....plastic tote for $5 to $10 pending size.....
Otherwise lightboxes available at Joanns for between $100-$200....I would assume Hobby Lobby and Michaels would also have them.

All the clear plastic bins I have found have a ridged circle right in the center or indentation in the bottom of the bin, a paper won't lay flat. The box I bought at Sam's is super nice an attractive for under $50 shipped.
