D.I.Y. Lightsphere

I found another use for the slip cover from a computer chair's wheelbase. Used in conjuction with an instant cappuccino container. Being this was my first attempt to make these, I have already improved my method for the next construction.

I started with a 3 piece slip cover and 1 cappuccino container.

I scored the end and removed a section that will impede the light.

Checked the fit.

Determined there was to much length for the device.

Determined how much extra room was able to be removed.

Used a torch and metal blade to cut through the plastic for length reduction. Can use one or two ring layers less.

Finished assembly with some duct tape. Made a second one from the remnants. I prefer the first. the bottle has is a bit less translucent and more white.

A couple of sample shots. Non adjusted Jpeg.

a nifty idea greg

Good work.  The price tag of the lightsphere is a little hard to swallow.  

im always trying new stuff. i also have a clear plastic cup that fits over the end and works like a sphere also. i try to keep my eyes open for new materials to work with. i have a few other projects i should post, from beauty dishes to other snoots to reflectors.

Thats a great idea, might have to give that a go. I'm looking forward to seeing your other projects.

Greate idea, I think I should try it)
