Photography backdrops can be expensive. Making your own can save you money and give your photos a unique signature style. Backdrops that are production line will give your portraits a production line look. Production line backdrops are photography backgrounds that are produced in a factory. Each backdrop is reproduced over and over. You can find these in the photo studios that sell packaged portraits. Backdrops made from a painter's dropcloth are inexpensive, fairly easy to make and easy to change. You can back-light them to give an added dimension to your photos.

Wash your painter's dropcloth in warm water with laundry detergent. Rinse well with cold water. This process removes any dirt and dust. The dye takes better on a clean dropcloth. Do not dry.
2Heat 9 gallons of water until hot. The hotter the dye, the better it absorbs into your canvas.
3Mix the dye according to the directions on the package. The salt helps set the dye and keep your backdrop from bleeding its color out.
4Tie your painter's dropcloth with the twine. Make small or large gathers with the cloth, twist the gathers and tie. Do this step only if you want a variegated color for your photography backdrop. If you want a solid color, do not tie with twine.
5Pour the hot water into the large tub and mix in the dye and salt mixture. Use the wooden spoon and mix well.
6Place your painter's dropcloth into the hot water dye mix. Submerge completely using the wooden spoon.
7Turn the backdrop every 5 to 10 minutes in the dye. This gives the cloth a more even coloring. The cloth should steep in the dye for 1/2 hour unless otherwise directed in the instructions.
8Remove your dropcloth and cut the twine if you used any. Rinse with cold water until water runs clear. Wring out and dry.
