This is a quick tutorial to show how you can make a lightbox out of mats. I work in a frame shop and put together one of these a while back and just wanted to show people how they can do the same thing.

To make a larger one try 8-ply mat board. The best part about this lightbox is you get the mats cut by a framer and you don't have to use a box cutter on cardboard, and the end result looks a little more professional. The mats are usually cheap (mine were $.50 each) so there's no reason not to do it if you can find them.

If you have any Q's just comment and I'll do my best to answer. I've never done a tutorial before, and there are probably typos in there, so apologies in advance. :3

And for the record I'm by no means a skilled or experienced photographer- just good enough to photograph the D&D Miniatures I painted. This is just to give someone with no knowledge of photography something to start with!

ETA- Wow, thank you so much =Romaji and ^shelldevil . I hope some of you browsing the DD's find this useful. <3
