This blog post and video is for YOU. The Kit List or What you will need.

• A kitchen table. Or a mirror.  or both in fact.
• LED lights from or small fairy lights; eBay
• Small bit of velvet material (in the video I use a small velvet bag).  The material should be about 2ft x 2ft if you are going to use it as a background, maybe a little bigger if you use it over a table.
• LED inspection lights.  I got mine from Clas Ohlson and eBay
• LED torch, again from eBay or even Asda?
• Tin foil (although I didn't use this in the video I will in subsequent videos!)
• iPhone or Point & Shoot camera.
• Editing software (That's another video to come) from Google called Picasa and it's FREE. Whoo Hooo
