DIY Light Box
 
I thought this was a clever idea:

WOW I love this idea.. They sell those lights at the dollar tree.. So I think you may be able to make it cheaper there.. Definitely gonna make me one of these.. Thank you so much for sharing the idea..

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. ?
