Yes, here is one my sweet hubby made for me out of an old scanner. He attached gridded paper to the underside so I would have a guide when tracing. Also cuts the glare. Its a great size, nice and sturdy and I love it.

Those old scanner are hard to find now, but you might find one at a garage sale for less than a dollar.
