I have a couple of professional backdrops already but I am thinking about making some of my own.
A friend gave me a new 9' x 12' painters drop cloth they had laying around. I have seen DIY sites that show you how to die a cloth to make your own backdrop. I am not interested in a die job, what I am looking at is doing a "paint splatter" style backdrop.
My plan is to get a dozen or so colors and let the kids paint, splatter, make a mess out of it this spring.
Do I need to do any prep to the cloth to make the paint stick better?
Is there a "best" kind of paint that won't flake off very easily when putting it up or down?
Is there anything else I need to consider?
