Does anyone know what's the best material to use and where to buy it from in the UK at a low price?
Some people suggest muslin but I'm wondering if there's anything better.

I actually purchased a 7' by 5' pop up one from Ebay for about £30....it was sold as being "flawed", what actually happened was the dye had not taken properly on the blue side where there was a little thread.....bargain I thought, as we only use the green side anyway

If you want a good backdrop you can either go out and buy a green, red, or blue cloth or a big fabric. If you wann get really cheap buy some construction paper.

Whatever about buying blue or green I wouldn't buy red as that colour is present in skin tones. Stick to either green or blue and you won't go wrong.
