I got mine at JoAnn's and had a coupon. I think I paid about $12.00 for it. Yngldy beat me to it, but I, too, think the candle isn't a good idea. If the candle doesn't go out, it will make a black film on the glass. I get a lot of use out of my light box, and it is fairly small.

I saw this tip on Fons and Porter Love of Quilting show the other day. Take a clear plastic box, and one of those tap lights. They look like a dome, and you push down and it lights up. Battery operated. I have never tried it, but I eventually will. Let us know if you do. Gina

Feline Fanatic had a really good idea. My hubby made one for me (and for a number of others) using 1x4s and a clear plastic clip board for the top....wired in a light socket on the side and a long cord to plug in. I have used it for years and it works great. It's about a 9x12" and and works great!

I actually have a plastic box, it is a pale green color, and I put an the small portable olfa light, it has about a dozen small led lights in it. I got that with a half off coupon at Joann so it cost about $8 at the time. This works well for me because the box also holds my hand sewing supplies.

I agree with Jacquie. I tape the pattern onto my large, sliding glass door window at a comfortable height and it works well. Obviously, the sun must be out though--I tape the pattern down then tape the fabric over it.
