Crocheted Cradle Purse measures 5 x 6 inches when closed. The top turns down to reveal a baby in the cradle; when your done playing turn the sides up for a pretty purse.

New and Improved Light Box

Thanks to this tutorial:
http://www.pbase.com/wlhuber/light_box_light_tent/

With this new light box you can change the background. My poster board has two holes punched at the top, then attached with little screws. I only have white posterboard onhand, will post pictures with black later. :)

We made a few alterations:
My husband added a piece on the top for an extra light.
The box is lined with tissue paper, instead of a sheet. I used double stick tape to attach the tissue paper to the PVC pipe.

Donna Pool recommended foam boards covered with tinfoil to brighten the object.



Thanks for the Tip :)
