take great product photos without taking up a lot of space
I've always wanted a light tent, but they're expensive to buy. I've seen some DIY versions, but most of them were made from a cardboard box, and couldn't fold up for storage. So I made this one for myself.

Well if it's $2 a piece your way I can't see it being much more expensive over here. Thanks anyway. I'm going to have to scout around and see what I can find now.

I got the foam board for about $2 a piece at a local craft store, but I've also seen it in Wal-Mart type stores, in the same area as crayons and school supplies. It's used for school projects, mostly. I'm not sure what specific stores int the UK would have it, sorry

Thank you so much, I've been looking online all day for something like this, you've made my day. How much did the foam board cost and where did you get it from?
