Want a terrific backdrop

Don, <br />I dearly wanted backdrop warehouse offerings for my layout, but to be honest, it was too expensive for me. I'm in Canada so not only do I have to deal with the high price, but then I have to add more money due to the difference in Can/Am dollar. I have about 65 feet up of Faller's that I ended up using. Of course to get 65 feet, you have to order more as there are odd spots where you don't use the whole photo material. <br /> <br />Even using Faller's which is relatively cheap, I estimate my backdrop, including masonite for the backstop, screws and glues, modge podge for glue (slower setting time), the actual backdrops, two types of sprays a paper fixative and a matte finish (to dull the shine when using a flash camera), it cost me close to $400. <br /> <br />For me the only negative is the seams, but I'd rather live with a "seam" problem than a bad backdrop with no seams.
