DIY Light Tents

Postby SoCal Steve on Mon Apr 18, 2005 7:15 am

Looking for info on Light Tents I stumbled on this link about ways you can "do-it-yourself" making your own tents for small items with stuff you've already got around the house; pillowcases, bedsheets, etc.

It may do until you get around to buying the real stuff. This links to some other decent articles too.

Steve,

Samy's carry light tents as a normal stock item. Also, if you search Amazon, you can buy one for around $50, which is what I did prior to my trip last Christmas.

Thanks for the tip, Gary. I'm a regular customer at Samy's in Los Angeles these days but hadn't checked on Tents yet

Regards, Steve :D
