DIY Fabric Photo Back-Drop Creation: Colorful Staging for Products or Blog Posts


I'm always thinking up new ways to shoot photos and display things, it's essential for helping clients (and myself) improve sales. If you're a blogger or you sell items online, having a wide variety of backdrops ready-to-go helps you work faster and easier.


This time I'm just sharing a little idea I've had for making easy fabric photography backdrops. I tried to use just the fabric without gluing it to foam core for months now but the creases in the fabric from storage keeps this from working. I don't have time to iron the fabric every time, so now it's glued to foam core and stored away for easy use!


To do this I'd recommend 3M Adhesive Spray or 3M Spray Mount. I used Elmer's glue that I painted on in a thin even layer with my sponge brush.


It's fun to have so many colors to play with for photo-taking. Now to illustrate more creative content and e-books with appropriate rainbow-vomit backdrops! It can really transform a photographed vignette. I hope this helps you with your product or editorial photography if you needed new ideas!

  1. Great idea! I can use numerous small pieces of cloth. I should definitely try it for my store and blog too.

  2. What a great idea! That is an easy way to make a number of different ones that can be stacked and stored away neatly.
