Shooting in a "whitebox"?

[sleek]

Hey,

I'm very new to photography, and I've been looking for a way to shoot small items in effective light.

And example would be the following.

The first one is not what I want, whereas the second one is done pretty well.

Great lighting conditions etc.

How do I do this?

I have seen a small kind of "tent" in a photography magazine about 2 weeks ago. I took an out of focus photo of it.

Which can be found here.

Also another out of focus photo of the difference.

Now I can't get this where I am, and if I have to import it, it's gonna cost a lot of money.

How would I make one like this for myself?

And what addons would be suggested?

Or even just a solution to my "problem"

Thanks for any help

Here is a link to a build it yourself lightbox. I have seen some great results from some online photo friends. I would like to build one myself, but I don't really have the space to store it and I can't stand clutter. One day I'll get over that and build one.
