Tried to make my own Light Box for photographing my skincare products, here's the result. After watching few videos on YouTube I tried it myself. I used a brown cardboard box approx measuring 60 x 45 x 40 cm, white strong tape, new white shower curtain, two lamps from Ikea (less than £8.00 each), halogen bulbs - 70 W, 2700 kelvin (£4.00 pair). Still to source the background material for the inside, but all together it's not a bad result. This box can only be used with small products, for bigger ones you'd need to improvise something different. 
I've cut three windows in the cardboard box, cut and reinforced the edges and the walls with cardboard strips and taped it together with the tape. Covered everything with the white tape. Covered the inside and outside with the shower curtain. Not too bad I think.
