In a pinch the other day I used a clear storage tub with a desk lamp.
Worked great turned box upside down and bent the lamp upward.
If you have a glass top, kitchen or coffee table they work great also.
If your going to use it alot I'd invest in the real thing but if your going
to use it only now and then. Save your money buy fabric and make due....
my 1 cents....lol
