Most of us have a set amount that we would like to spend on our art supplies, so that we can try and turn a profit. If you want to utilize your craft business budget for just that, crafting supplies, then you will really appreciate this how-to, made from a carboard box and a few other items!

Here is a way that you can construct your own mini photo studio, that’s not only ultra easy to make and store…you can  purchase all the supplies you’ll need for this project for  under $5.00!

All these supplies you may already have or can be bought affordability at your office supply, craft or local dollar store.

What you’ll need:
(1) 14×22 White Poster Board
(1) Outside Sunlight (you in the shade)
(1) Used old cardboard box roughly 12″ x 13″
(4) Medium Binder Clips
(1) Pair of Scissors

what you do:
1. open used box on edge were it was glued together
2. with scissors cut off all edges (flaps)
3. stand box up at preexisting corner
4. attach poster with binder clips to top & sides (IMPORTANT: Do not fold poster board, simply bend for smooth studio photo & better pictures)
5. go outside on a sunny day in the shade, prop your mini studio any where, add your artistic creation & take photos

When done your photo shot, re-arrange binder clips to attach poster flat against cardboard for easy storage. Folds flat so that you can stash it almost anywhere! Perfect for the art studio with limited space!
