This will be your base, and you can easily find a large one for free at your local supermarket or by asking someone to give you theirs. Then, remove two opposite sides of the box, so that you have an opening in the front of your lightbox. You can leave the other side untouched as the base, or you can turn it into a roof by adding a piece of acrylic sheet on the back of your box.
Once the base is finished, add a layer of frosted film or acrylic sheet over the top to protect it. This will help reduce the amount of light that escapes through the bottom.

Assembling your acrylic LED light box is easy. Start by building a square frame with 2″x6″ pine boards. Use butt joints, where the two pieces of wood butt together at a 90 degree angle. Then attach one side of the acrylic to the frame using a countersunk screw. Place the screws on the ‘low’ side of the acrylic to prevent vibrations and resonance.

It will also be resistant to scratches and cracks. You can even use a spray can of clear gloss to further protect the surface from scratches and stains.
