Connecting with these marks, draw a square in such a way that you will get a
1-2 inch space between the squares and edges of the box. Repeat this process of drawing a square on all sides except at the bottom and the back. · Take out the squares with the help of scissor or box cutter, leaving the bottom and back of the box intact. · Cut tissue papers in square shapes and use them for covering the two sides of the box and its top. You can also take a long sheet and use it for covering top and box sides. Make sure to attach the tissue paper firmly with the box. · Cut the poster board and place it on the box in such a way that the board's end gets fixed against bottom-front and top-back edges.
After that, place two or more sources of light at different angles around the light box. Final word
