Quick Tip for Using a Light Box

So I was taking photos in my light box today, and ran into some trouble.  I wanted to take photo of an ornament shaped like a Mickey Mouse head, but I couldn't get a good angle of it. It kept laying down.  This was not the view I wanted of my ornament!

Making Your Own Photo Shoot Light Box

I'm starting an ambitious project this year.  I'd like to take photographs of all of my (hundreds of) Christmas ornaments, and then have a photo book made of all the photos, including the stories of where the ornaments came from.  To get high quality photos, I needed a photo shoot light box.  I could have bought one, but why not make one?  The great thing about this is that I didn't have to buy anything - I had everything I need already on hand.  In this post I'll try to share how I went about it (though I forgot to take step-by-step photos as I went along, sorry).
