[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 269307, member: 17556"] I have an outdoor shoot coming up and I want to make sure I have my bases covered. I have one of those 42" 5-in-1 reflector discs but I think I might need something larger for this outdoor shoot. I wanted a large light reflector panel but I have no intentions of spending a lot of money on one. So I made my own for under $15.00. What you need: - 4 each 6 foot long 1" x 3/4" wood strips ($.97 cents each) - 6 foot long, 3 foot wide piece of white ripstop nylon cloth (I bought a twin sized mattress zip cover at a thrift store for $2.00) - Corner joining hardware with screws (cabinet making hardware) (3.00 each pack of 4 pieces) - Staple gun and staples or upholstery tacks What do do: Basically cut the wood strips in to two 6 foot pieces and two three foot pieces. You can mitre the corners at 45* if you want to make it like a photo frame. Join the four corners and make a large rectangle frame 6' by 3' in size. Use the corner brackets for stability of the frame. Stretch the fabric over one corner and wrap it around and staple to the back side of the strip. Do the same at the other corners. Pull the fabric tight all the way around and wrap the edges around the strip and staple at the back. Make sure to pull out the wrinkles.
