I just built this in 45 mins for $52, almost all of which was Lamps and Bulbs. My biggest concern was storage. I didn't want a box just sitting taking up space that does not exist. So here is what I did.
Materials:
3 x Foam Boards 20"x30" @ $1 each (Dollar Tree)
3 x Clamp Lams @ $6.33 Each (Lowes)
2 x 2 pack 5000K Bulbs @ $8.26 Each (Lowes)
1 x Twin Flat Sheet Grey @ $5 (Wally Mart)
4 x Clothes/Chip clips (already had)
1 x White T-Shirt (already had)
The Box is 20"cu
I took 2 of the foam boards for the sides and scored a line through them at the 10" Mark careful not to go through the other side. Took the third board for the top and cut it @ 23" and scored it at 1.5" on each side careful not to go through. From my scrap piece off the third board I cut a 1"x20" strip off. Traces a 3" boarder around each board and cut out the middle. Used an old T-Shirt for light diffuser cut into 3 squares to cover my holes. Cut a 21" wide section of the grey sheet to fit inside.
Next I will build a collapsible frame to clamp my light to.
All Set up.
Here you can see where I used the 1.5" scores to bend the board over and hold it together w/ 2 clips (one on each side)
Top Removed you can see the 10" extra folded over to form the back. The 1" stip I cut I use to roll the sheet in and clam it across the back. This hold the sheet but also keeps the back rigid.
Broken down laying flat.
Packed away behind the dresser.
