Light Box Fabric?

Been reading on line about DIY photo light boxes, I'll like to know what is a good fabric to use? I'am still reading up so I don't have too much knowledge about it.

A lot of people use white muslin. Its kind of like a bed sheet type material. Hope this helps.

I use muslin to diffuse the lighting.
But I photograph my snakes on a white poster board to keep the surface smooth and clean.


Example.
Not my photo, but my set up looks exactly the same

On some sites they use were white foam boards.

If you have a Joann fabrics, they carry muslin.

No, I have a hobby lobby and a Michael's at my local mall.

Where can I also pick up some plain poster boards?

Michael's will carry poster board, I don't know if it will have muslin. (My local Michael's doesn't have a fabric section and my Jo-Ann's has a huge one. No Hobby Lobby here.)

One quick suggestion: Jo-Ann and Michael's accept each others coupons. Check both their websites before you go and print out whatever you find.

You can also get the poster board at your local Dollar Tree if you have them. Or Target.

That sounds like a winner, I have plenty of those around here, I like cheap lol..

Look's like I have a project for this weekend..

Oh light's, my light box will be all white, what kind of bulbs to get and wattage would be good?

Get daylight bulbs. Use at least 3 or more, otherwise the photo lighting isn't that even.
