My Lightbox

Don't have a lightbox but need to trace an embroidery pattern?
Use your television (as long as it's not one of those fancy plasma or LCD models). Simply use masking tape to affix your fabric to the printed pattern, like so, then tape the whole shebang over the illuminated television screen.
Voila! You have a lightbox. The light from the television screen will allow you to view the printed pattern through the fabric. Pull up a chair and get to work.
great idea.
ReplyDeletethat's a great idea. We have a glass topped dining table that i use, i just stick a lamp underneath and i'm good to go!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rachel. It's a little ghettofied, but I'm working with what I've got.
